Cali Macchia is a graduate of New Jersey City University’s film program.  She has worked on several independent features as a cinematographer or camera assistant.  Her freelance career has been varied working in film and video production as production crew for camera, lighting and audio recording.  For the past eighteen years she has been teaching television production at the high school level and more recently as an adjunct professor at Seton Hall University and New Jersey City University.  Along with her teaching responsibilities she is on the education advisory board for the Thomas Edison Black Maria Film Festival and volunteers as part of the coordinating committee for the New Jersey Young Filmmakers Festival.  Cali currently works simultaneously as an educator and digital film professional as video crew for Junket Productions recording interviews with actors and directors, creating and editing a short video for the Matthew Shepard symposium, and producing personal short documentaries. 

• FILMINUTE is focused on expanding the expressive and artistic terrain of the moving image.  We welcome submissions into the competition which are culturally, ethnically, and otherwise diverse, by makers of any background who illuminate the human condition and explore and engage the creative potential of the medium.  Selection of award is based on the nondiscriminatory and artistic judgment of the jurors and staff of the festival.
