Many people think of filmmaking as simply a “hobby”, not as a money making industry that can actually sustain a positive financial impact on a community and a filmmaker’s income. In addition, thinking of film as simply a vehicle for “entertaining” the masses has long transpired, and in reality is regularly utilized as a tool to inform audiences on a variety of social issues.

Our guests on tonight’s program are committed to these notions in their life work. Join in the discussion of how film can be a tool for informing audiences on global economics, while at the same time contributing to an artist’s personal financial growth.
