Gathering of Filmmakers
Chattanooga, TN – Filmmakers, professionals working in the TV industry, film students and media artists are all invited to meet and mingle on Thursday, July 27, 2006. Jarrod Whaley, a local filmmaker and chair of the Commission's Local Projects Committee said, “There are many people in town working in film but they are not connected through any association. This is our first attempt to reach out to those people in an effort to organize, network, and hopefully bond the film community together.”
The event will take place at Foodworks, on 205 Manufacturers Road in the Knitting Mill Complex on July 27 at 6:30 pm. Appetizers will be provided.
Co-Founder and the City of Chattanooga’s Education Arts and Culture Director Missy Crutchfield said, “The Film Commission has a dual mission: generating business by enticing outside production companies to make films here in Chattanooga and also supporting the local film community which is growing and flourishing.”
