Every year we gather to celebrate another year of community-produced television and to show our appreciation for you— the filmmakers and television artists who tell their beautifully unique stories on our New York Emmy-WINNING Public Access channels. Without you, your talent, your creativity, or your voice Brooklyn Free Speech television wouldn’t be what it is today.

Your presence is requested at our 12th Annual Community Producer Holiday Party on Friday, December 15, 2017, 6:30-9:30pm at our house— BRIC Arts | Media House! We’ll be serving really good food, toasting the year to come, and unveiling some really special prizes and announcements.

Be A Light at the Community Producer Holiday Party
The theme for this year's Community Producer Holiday Party is Be A Light. With all of the things going on in the world, we want to be a light that shines bright for all of Brooklyn, and beyond to see. This year, Brooklyn Free Speech is supporting those affected by Hurricane Maria. Many, many people in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are still without power and basic necessities.

In the spirit of giving, please consider bringing one of the following items to the party (Donations are requested in original packaging and un-opened):

• Flashlights
• Batteries (D-size preferred, but any size is OK)
• Diapers & Wipes
• Feminine Hygiene Products (tampons or pads)
• Non-perishable baby food

Brooklyn Free Speech staff will transport all donations to FDNY Engine 201 in Sunset Park for shipment to Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.

Happy Holidays and we’ll see you on Friday, December 15.
