Why It Matters

Alabama’s creative and technical workforce is expanding. The students premiering films tonight are future digital media professionals, animators, editors, UX designers, and storytellers who will strengthen industries across our state.

Come cheer, clap, and celebrate the filmmakers redefining what is possible in the Wiregrass. Help us amplify their stories - and maybe change a few futures along the way.
