June 3rd -June 9th 2016 marked the Hoboken International Film Festival in Hudson Valley, Middletown, 
upstate New York at the legendary Paramount Theater. Brought to us by festival chairman and former Judge Kenneth Del Vecchio, opening night lit the city in full length red carpet paparazzi style to host independent filmmakers, actors and entertainment industry socialites from New York to Hollywood.
Stars coming out to participate in the festivities included Terri Conn of former soap opera series (As the World Turns), actor/comedian Gilbert Gottfried and several other television entertainment celebrities like teen heartthrob Matthew Lawrence of the Lawrence Brothers and cast of 1990s ABC series Boy Meets World. Celebrity guests and invites enjoyed wine and refreshments from local sponsored catering. The festival paid special tribute to Academy
award nominated Danny Aiello, who was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award, and Martin Kove who starred in films such as Rambo, The Karate Kid, and The Great Fight, was also given a Lifetime Achievement Award of honor. Other big winners of 
the night included independent films Confidence Game, Flatbush Luck, Cries of The Unborn and multiple wins by feature film Little Miss Perfect directed by Marlee Roberts to name a few. Â Special film credits and honors can also be seen at www.HobokenInternationalFilmFestival.com
