About: New York No Limits Film Series, formed in January 2011 to provide a platform of multi-faceted, innovative and risk-taking films. The primary focus of the NYNL program platform is to integrate films that reflect the essence of the filmmaker’s vision, daring in nature with narratives that cross the lines of commercial intent.

Ultimately, NYNL wishes to give filmmakers who take profound leaps a shot to connect with the audience and beyond. All year long, NYNL seeks to extend the boundaries and spread the canvass of conventional film with programs that include every genre, and the most daring visions in film today. Currently, NYNL programs short films, however plans to integrate feature films into the series in 2012.
