Rooftop Films is one of the most unique and coolest outlets for independent film in the city, particularly Brooklyn. Mark Rosenberg is the founder and Artistic Director of said awesomeness and was nice enough to let me film him talking about his ventures with Rooftop on a windy and rainy, er, rooftop. Mark told me about why he decided to screen on roofs, how the settings the films are screened in helps the experience, why he prefers shorts (not the style of pantalones, but the format of film), and other sweet things Rooftop Films does to help out the independent filmmakers around the boroughs (including the Rooftop Filmmakers Fund and equipment rentals).

Now, if you go to their site, you can find plenty of information and scheduling on Rooftop's Summer Series that begins soon, as well as links to other goodies...including the IFC shorts showcase that Rooftop will be a part of. Each week there will be a bunch of short films added to IFC's website and, well, just go to www.rooftopfilms.com and you'll see what I mean.

And now, here's Mark. Enjoy!
