Friday Night’s Red Carpet Ceremony hosted by The Provident Bank

Although the festival has already been in full swing with two days of amazing films being screened, the Red Carpet Gala and Reception event, a production by Malloy Events, and hosted by our Premiere Sponsor, The Provident Bank, kicked things up a notch. With a glamorous red carpet set up along the newly redone Congress Street, with a paparazzi scene and gastbyesque music playing, the attendees danced their way up the walkway and prepared for their photo-ops under the glowing The Music Hall sign.

As guests entered The Music Hall they were welcome by Executive Director of the New Hampshire Film Festival, Nicole Gregg and Dan Hannon, the Co-Founder/Industry Director. Within the hall, local Portsmouth restaurants Atlantic Grill and Tuscan Kitchen presented tasty hors d’oeuvres and NHFF Signature Cocktails were provided by KEEL vodka at the bar.

Stars like Rae Dawn Chong and John Viener came dressed to the nines among the excited crowd. More stars expected to make an appearance this weekend range from David Spade to Tim Herlihy. With an amazing group of talent such as this, the New Hampshire Film Festival is sure to go above and beyond this year.

There are two full days ahead at the NHFF, and plenty more to see. For a full listing of the schedule check out the festival schedule.
