MNN was thrilled to host the premiere of “He Who Walks In Darkness,” a short film created by our community producer and GFS alum, Juan Del Rio.

The story follows an entrepreneur, a fortune teller, and a delivery girl who must band together to face a demon that haunts the darkness of their office space.

The screening and following panel discussion were incredibly illuminating, and thanks to the overall community for showing up to support. We’ll see you again soon!

It’s hard to get a job on a movie or TV production without any connections. If you don’t have a driver’s license, it’s even harder.

That’s why the Made in NY PA Training Program launched the West Side Drives Scholarship. This scholarship offers free driving lessons to low-income residents of Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen and Hudson Yards who want to join the “Made in NY” Production Assistant Training Program.

On Monday night, MNN hosted City Limit's Democratic Mayoral Candidate Forum on NYCHA & Family Homelessness at our Hudson Yards location in Manhattan (509 W 38th Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10018).

The well-attended forum provided a platform for members of our community to present their questions and concerns to five democratic candidates in the race for Mayor of NYC: State Senator Jessica Ramos, City Comptroller Brad Lander, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, former Comptroller Scott Stringer, and former Assemblyman Michael Blake.

As a pillar of the public entertainment industry, MNN is proud to have provided the space and resources for this conversation to our friends at City Limits. We work daily to equip our community and partners with the insight, tools, and training to make their voices heard through media, and we're thrilled to amplify their voices in-person.

Stay tuned to our website and social channels to find new ways to get involved.
