FIRST STATEWIDE FILM AND TELEVISION TRADE ASSOCIATION IS ANNOUNCED IN NASHVILLE, TN
The Association for the Future of Film and Television (AFFT) recently announced their formation and plans to begin a membership drive across the state for individual members and corporate partners.
The AFFT will focus on three goals:
1. To affect legislation in the State of Tennessee that benefits the film, television and video production industries and those associated with it.
2. To inform and educate those in the film, television and video production industries about proposed, active or unsuccessful legislation affecting the industry.
3. To promote the common interests of the industries at the legislative level.
"An organization of this kind is vital to the growth and well-being of the film and television industry in Tennessee," said Jan Austin, former Deputy Director of the Tennessee Film, Entertainment & Music Commission as well as founder and Executive Director of AFFT. "The industry has never had an organization like this to represent them and to work on their behalf at the legislative level. In this climate of relentless competition nationwide for film and television projects, it is imperative that we make every effort to keep our state and it's entertainment industry attractive to potential projects."
"We expect to use funds raised through memberships and corporate underwriting to drive the Association and to hire a lobbyist to help in our efforts within Tennessee's General Assembly" says Roger Hodges, Executive Producer of Firefly Film & Video of Nashville and President of AFFT. "The Association is also forming a political action committee (PAC) to support state and local candidacies of those who are supportive of our industry in general and of our individual efforts."
The Association requires that two Directors from each of the four areas - East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee, West Tennessee and Chattanooga - serve on the Board.
The Board of Directors for 2008 - 2010 are as follows:
East Tennessee - Juanell Walker (Talent Trek Agency) Michael Samstag ( Knoxville Films)
Middle Tennessee - Gael Armstrong (Ground Zero Post) Scott Hallgren (Scootman Music)
West Tennessee - Pam Branham (Younger Assoc.) Rod Starns/Jonathan Epstein (Running
Pony Productions)
Chattanooga - Bob Hotchkiss (Cornerstone of America) Dave Porfiri (Mindflow Media)
A one-year membership in AFFT is $25.00. Membership is open to everyone in the film and television industry as well as anyone who is interested in the future of the industry in the state of Tennessee. For more information about or to join the Association for the Future of Film and Television, please visit the website at www.affttennessee.org or call (615) 797-4333.
