Ever since I became a FAVA Member I have recommended FAVA as a wonderful community and resource for filmmakers in any career stage or film enthusiasts simply looking to gain greater appreciation of the technical aspects of filmmaking. FAVA has been a great place to expand my network of collaborators; I have met many filmmakers through FAVA with whom I have collaborated on my own projects. Over the years, FAVA has provided inspiring workshops, material resources, and a community of committed filmmakers who are both talented and generous in shaing their time and experience. FAVA is a dynamic creative community, and an essential presence in the local arts scene.
