Welcome to New Jersey!

MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER"During these crazy times we're living in" ... Geez, how manyemails have we gotten in the last 18 months that started with asentence like that? It's been a turbulent year-and-a-half, and thatis what makes our next few days together so much bigger thanany other edition of the New Jersey WebFest. We celebratecreativity always, but this year, we are celebrating creativity thathas survived chaos and confusion. We are living through apandemic, and yet, here we are to show love to each other andvalue each other's work. That is priceless.Appropriately, this year we have expanded to celebrate oft-underappreciated members of the web: the fiction podcastcommunity. We are giving them the film festival treatmentbecause, quite frankly, it's about damn time. Featuring audiofiction alongside the greatest web series, music videos, trailers,and pilots, we are proud to be showcasing the absolute best thatthe web has to offer. We encourage you all to meet andconnect. Good friendships will be forged, communities will beunited, creatives will inspire one another. Maybe a collaborationcomes out of our festival - a web series makes an audioadaptation, or a fiction podcast becomes a web series. Risingtides raise all ships, and the kind of synergy we will feel thisweek is what will take all of us to greater levels.

As I've said before, our hashtags aren't just catchy slogans;they're spoilers! On the first year, we said #MakeHistoryWithUsand, indeed, it was historic. In 2019, we said#LetsMakeMemories, and by the end of the weekend, everyoneknew they were part of something incredibly memorable. Andthis year, we will #FeelTheMagic. And we will do it together. Thisis your festival. It's the Jersey way.

Thank you for being here and joining what is known worldwideas the #NJWebFest Family.
