With advertising sponsorships tied to his upcoming film, Feelin’ Lucky, Vaughn is using the festival as a strategic launchpad to generate excitement for the project. More than just a film, Feelin’ Lucky is a passion project that intertwines themes of fate, second chances, and family bonds, making the GSFF an ideal venue to introduce it to an engaged audience.
The film stars Zane Michael, Vaughn’s youngest son, in a role that promises to showcase both his emerging talent and the depth of their father-son connection. Vaughn, a longtime advocate for authentic storytelling, has carefully aligned the film’s promotional efforts with the GSFF, ensuring it gains visibility among filmmakers, industry insiders, and movie lovers who appreciate fresh, compelling narratives.
The Garden State Film Festival (GSFF) is set to light up Asbury Park, New Jersey, from March 27 to 30, 2025, marking its 23rd year of celebrating independent cinema. As one of New Jersey’s most influential film events, the festival continues to serve as a platform for creative storytelling, innovative filmmaking, and industry networking.
This year, The Chris Vaughn Company proudly returns as a sponsor, reinforcing its deep-rooted commitment to independent film. Vaughn’s connection to the GSFF runs beyond business—his friendship with festival co-founder Diane Raver and former executive director Lauren Concar Sheehy spans years of collaboration and mutual support for the arts.
