Despite a global pandemic, this group of enthusiastic, dedicated and inspiring media makers continues to come together to discuss industry trends, how to continue making media in a pandemic environment, and how to continue to fulfill the mission of the organization. As Past President 2015-2017 and a 3-term board member, this organization has fueled my professional and personal growth and created lasting friendships with other filmmakers coast-to-coast.

If you need a place to connect, grow and learn more about making media – this is the group to join.
