The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts (NYCDA) today announced the launch of New York Conservatory Productions, a new initiative focused on film development, production and promotion. Created as a platform for the school’s alumni to develop and showcase storytelling through film, New York Conservatory Productions is introducing its first short entitled “You Can’t Change Anything About This.”
“We are thrilled to launch New York Conservatory Productions,” said Richard Omar, president and artistic director at The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. “It’s a springboard for The New York Conservatory’s alumni to launch into storytelling on the big screen – all with the support and resources of the college behind them. Whether through acting, development, directing or production, our goal is help The New York Conservatory’s incredibly talented graduates get their stories out there and seen at some of the most well-known international festivals and forums. We are very proud of this new venture and look forward to showcasing films that capture storytelling in its finest form.”
“You Can’t Change Anything About This” tells the story of a brother and sister who must come to terms with their grandfather’s illness. Filmed in Goshen, NY, this short film features The New York Conservatory alumni:
