MISSION STATEMENT

NYU Tisch West is headed by The Tisch West Alumni Council, a working board that serves as 1. the link between LA alumni and Tisch; 2. the organizational arm for fundraising efforts in LA and 3. a bridge to ease the transition for alumni from East Coast to West --  the classroom to the entertainment business.

UPCOMING PROGRAMMING

November 7, 5:00 PM AFI FEST 2009, in collaboration with the Tisch West Alumni Council presents After.Life, Laemmle Monica 4, 1332 2nd St. (Santa Monica, CA): Directed by Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo '01 (BFA, F&TV); CAST: Liam Neeson, Christina Ricci, Justin Long, Josh Charles, Celia Weston. When are the dead in fact dead? In its pleasure at simultaneously embracing and sending up horror genre conventions, After.Life suggests that the line between the living and the dead is thin indeed. Christina Ricci and Justin Long (fast earning a reputation as the busiest man in American movies) play a sophisticated couple on the emotional razor’s edge: Paul wants to tie the knot, while Anna is hardly ready for the leap. What neither count on is the sudden presence in their lives of Liam Neeson’s undertaker, Eliot, who claims to have a gift of talking with the dead. The truth of the matter is something that first-time feature director Agnieska Wojtowicz-Vosloo—fresh off her acclaimed short, Pate—enjoys toying with. But the most fun is watching Neeson discovering fresh variations on a ghoulish role of the kind that was once the province of Vincent Price. All regular screenings AT AFI FEST 2009 are free! Go to AFI.COM/AFIFEST or call (866) AFI-FEST beginning October 16th for tickets to ANY regular screening!
