At our last meeting on Thursday, September 5th, we introduced a lot of exciting information and ideas that we are excited to share with you. We are proud to present: Beth Nelson, Chad Darnell, and Anthony Paderewski, as additions to the board of directors. Together these members have expertise in the fields of legal, locations, casting, and IATSE.
In addition, SFA is no longer an LLC. We are now officially a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, giving us many opportunities and advantages we did not have before:
With this being said, there will now be a small, tiered membership fee to fund everything from daily expenses (website maintenance, tax returns, filing fees, etc.) to all of the initiatives we have planned, such as marketing Savannah, holding events, and offering scholarships.
Each new board member has a part in revamping the Alliance and marketing Savannah as a premier filming destination for the film and television industry. This all contributes to the Alliance’s main goal of providing members with a support system to grow within their position as a filmmaker. Now that the new SFA has been introduced, here’s to putting it into action!
The Savannah Film Alliance was founded in 2015 as a grassroots organization dedicated to the support and growth of the film and television industry in the Coastal Empire. Since that time, its membership has grown to over 500 filmmakers, crew members, government officials, producers, actors, service providers, and many other entertainment industry supporters. The Savannah Film Alliance offers a unique mutual support system through which its members meet together four times a year to share information, review the current state of the industry, and brainstorm how to work together to utilize each member’s expertise, resources, and abilities to ensure Savannah’s continued status as one of the world’s premier filming destinations.
