New York International Children's Film Festival 2023

April 11, 2023

Todays blog post is a fun one. I have volunteered at this festival in the past and have attended it as well. I went to see Little Nicholas. It was really long but soo beautiful. I went to the screening at the film forum , a very beautiful theater in the city. Funny and tear jerking. Such a great time!

I watched Little Nicholas Happy as Can Be. It was my introduction to this material and I loved it!
