Creating Opportunities for Latino Filmmakers in Georgia

 

For over 11 years the Georgia Latino Film Alliance (GALFA) has advocated for our filmmaking community members.  We are a Georgia membership organization that addresses the professional needs of Latino/a film makers in Georgia. We are uniquely position to be the only Latino film/media association in Georgia, our goals are to address issues affecting the most underrepresented and the largest ethnic minority in the country. GALFA was founded in 2015 by a group of concerned Latino citizens in Georgia producers, content creators, academics and media advocates. The Question who was telling our stories? If anyone should be the creative voices of our stories, it’s us… Latinos in the United States.

It is all about relationships… From connecting writers to actors, producers to directors and talent, we are the hub of the Latino Georgia film community.
