The Office of Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) would like to extend a formal invitation to you, your colleagues, and your students to participate in the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference Short Film Festival! This year’s Conference is slated to take place from September 12-16.
Congressman Johnson serves as Chair of the Congressional Caucus for the Advancement of Studio, Talent, (CAST) and Film Diversity. As Chair, Mr. Johnson has facilitated conversations with industry professionals, filmmakers, directors, and artists to promote inclusion of minorities in film and television - an increasingly successful industry in his home state of Georgia.
This year, Congressman Johnson wanted to continue discussing groundbreaking improvements in representation across film and television, while giving a platform to independent artists to share their work and their stories. The theme of the conference and the festival is “The Dream Still Demands”.
