JJC Media's first pre-screening for their film "Getting Caught" in Hollis, New York

On Sunday, September 26th, JJC Media had its first “test screening” (official screening coming soon!) of their film “Getting Caught”, hosted by attorney Rene Myatt and her staff at their Hollis, New York location. Entitled “Cinema & Cocktails” Ms. Myatt, a purveyor of the arts, not only provides a platform for burgeoning filmmakers, she also showcases the works of interesting artists, musicians, authors or any creative entity she feels may ting the palette of her “arts thirsty” audience.

The audience, made up of a diverse cast of business professionals from real estate brokers, attorneys, pilots, legal consultants to book collectors and arts aficionados filled the room to capacity. As Ms. Myatt gave her initial greetings and introductions, afterwards the lights dimmed and the film began to roll, Director/Producer Mr. Jerry J Cunningham, looked quite the gentleman in his sleek, grey suit accompanied by his Production Manager/Office Administrator, Christopher B. They both exhibited an air of calmness despite the small pangs of nervous tension that probably pounded against their stomachs.

During the film’s screening, the audience’s reactions chimed in exactly to what JJC Media intended and were quite surprised at their reactions during certain elementary dramatic moments. At the film’s end, one clap led to another then a barrage of applause overcame the room as Rene introduced Jerry to the audience for the Q&A portion of the screening. Actors, Derek Brantley (Dave/Mr. Holmes) and Amanda Yachekchak (Jenny Rivers) were in attendance and both received formidable comments to their onscreen performance.

The thoroughly engaging dialogue between the audience and the JJC Media staff and actors elicited some intriguing questions and perceptions of “Getting Caught”. Everything from lighting to camera travel and angles, to sound, editing and of course, plot and story, and a multitude of “why if’s” kept the JJC Media staff on their toes and were quite ecstatic by the audience’s intense critique and questions that continued past the scheduled ending time. By nights end, applauses and congratulations for a work well done were humbly received by Cunningham and his JJC Media collective. “For him, it was a “labor of love” and continues to recognize his blessings in the wonderful cast and crew that made it all happen.
