About FMFB

About FMFB - FilmMusicFashion&Babes Is a web based magazine, coalition & online community, print magazine and festival out of NYC. Intended for the general public but first and foremost for filmmakers by filmmakers, for musicians by musicians, for fashion designers by fashion designers, for thespians and models by thespians and models. We are dedicated to the celebration of our art and dedicated to providing the brightest emerging talent with an outlet to publicize, promote, and showcase their brand of artistic talent.

FMFB features established and emerging talent in their respective fields. Our goal is to maximize the level of exposure the brightest emerging talent deserves while providing a service for established talent. It does not matter what level of this game we call entertainment one is in, the bottom line is creating our art, having it come to life while staying within budget. Whether DIY or doing it with other people's money (Sponsors), we have to face up to the fact that art needs funding. The key is delivering a great finished product while staying within the confines of the available budget.

The idea came to me while spending some time on the set of the HBO production of The Meyer Lansky Story. Fred Zollo and his partner decided to cut costs by having a singer do a cover of a Jazz song they were using in a scene. The licensing rights for the original were extremely high. They gave a complete unknown singer a shot at the big time and they cut their costs. Everybody walked away happy and the producers kept their costs down.

Filmmakers need actors and models, fashion designers for wardrobe and music to set tone and mood. Whether filmmaker, musician, fashion designer, model or thespian we all need each other. We intend on bridging the gap between established and emerging talent by featuring both side by side.

The Festival

The FMFB Festival coincides with Fashion Week in NYC every September and February. As a prelude to the festival we are hosting monthly events in NYC and NJ. Under the banner of our Film&Music series. We are not going to be like other festivals where there will be a competition or panels to attend. The festival is going to be about the celebration of our art, film screenings, band showcases, fashion shows, actors showcases, parties and networking. It is all about taking our careers into our hands.
