Unreal NYC

For safety and security, if you would like to attend the event you must fill out a brief Google Form and final approval for attendance will be sent on a rolling basis. If you do not receive a response, it is possible the event is full or other factors were at play. Attendance confirmed on meetup.com DOES NOT equate to approval from Epic. DO NOT try to attend if you have not been approved - Epic will not let you in. Similarly, note that despite the address listed as B&H Photo, the event is not at B&H Photo (meetup just requires us putting something there). The real address will be emailed after signing the NDA. Please try to arrive before 7:00p, as that is when the building is locked to the public.

That all being said, as organizers of this thriving community we will be making every effort to record and broadcast the live presentations.

SPEAKERS
Jason Cuadrado
Cameras to Code: How Indie Filmmakers Can Direct Inside Unreal
You don’t have to be a programmer to make films in Unreal.
In this inspiring and practical talk, Jason Cuadrado walks through his journey from live-action filmmaker to real-time cinematic director. He’ll explore how traditional film language — blocking, lenses, lighting, pacing, performance — becomes even more powerful inside Unreal Engine.

Whether you're a director, writer, DP, or animator curious about real-time tools, this talk will show you how to bring your existing craft into a new medium — and why now is the best time in history to be an independent storyteller.

Jason Cuadrado is an award-winning writer and director whose career spans traditional film development, independent features, and cutting-edge real-time cinematic production. He began his career at Lower East Side Films, working alongside John Leguizamo on a range of acclaimed projects before moving into writing and directing his own feature films, including the Lionsgate thriller Devil May Call.
