CineMagic at Stony Brook Film Festival (LIVE On-Site at the Staller Center)

This week, we’re spilling the tea from the iconic Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Stony Brook Film Festival—a major force in the world of independent film and one of Long Island’s most beloved summer events! 🎬

We’re joined by Alan Inkles, the festival’s visionary Director, to give us the inside scoop on this year’s incredible lineup, what goes into curating over 2,000 film submissions, and what to expect from this truly one-of-a-kind cinematic experience.

Whether you're a die-hard film buff or just looking for a cool night out this summer, this event is your ticket to exclusive premieres, filmmaker Q&As, and a taste of Hollywood right here on Long Island.

#ShowUsYourLongIslander

Each week, we spotlight a local legend—someone making waves on the Island or online.

This week’s pick: @LongIslandWiseGuy 🎥

He’s a hilarious, anonymous content creator who captures all the quirks of Long Island life—deli culture, beach-day drama, parking lot chaos, and more. His viral videos feel like inside jokes we’re all in on, and he’s a perfect example of someone using humor to celebrate our unique LI lifestyle.

Know someone who deserves the spotlight?
