To Adrian Grenier, star of HBO’s Entourage, technology gives everybody the chance to be a star—which has its upside and downside.

“We have to balance technology between our digital lives and our real, human, three-dimensional lives,” he told attendees at the NYIT Auditorium on Broadway on April 17.

Grenier also discussed his directorial debut, Teenage Paparazzo. The actor-turned-director profiles Austin Visschedyk, a 13-year-old freelance celebrity photographer who earns up to $2,000 a shot.

On March 21, the NYIT Auditorium on Broadway welcomed women’s rights activist Gloria Steinem, who screened her new HBO documentary, Gloria: In Her Own Words, and participated in a discussion with co-anchor of CBS This Morning, Gayle King.

The documentary recounts Steinem’s rise from reporter to feminist icon and includes interviews with Barbara Walters, Helen Gurley Brown, Phil Donahue, and Larry King.

The NYIT Auditorium on Broadway also screened a series of dramas, documentaries, comedies, and thrillers as host of the 2012 New York Film Independent Spirit Awards from Jan. 9 to Feb. 10.
