2026 Official Selection

DudeZ Takes the Long Island International Film Expo

Long Island International Film Expo 2026 Official Selection laurel

It’s official: DudeZ earned its place as a 2026 Official Selectionof the Long Island International Film Expo — one of the region’s longest-running celebrations of independent film.

For a scrappy, big-hearted comedy about five roommates refusing to grow up, sharing the marquee with filmmakers from around the world was a milestone worth savoring. The team brought Astoria’s finest chaos — Sage, Gino, Tammy, Julz, Albe, and one silently judgmental giraffe — to the big screen and to a room full of people who came ready to laugh.

Huge thanks to the festival, the cast and crew, and everyone who cheered DudeZ on during its festival run. This is just the beginning. More to come.

Five roommates. One apartment. Zero adults.
