Festival of Cinema NYC 2022 finished strong with a big Closing Night red carpet

After a red carpet and two more photo calls, Queens’ Festival of Cinema NYC wasn’t quite done yet giving its filmmakers an opportunity to get photos and interviews. With Festival Director Jayson Simba doing interviews for FOC NYC’s video crew himself, several films were represented on Closing Night.
