The second objective is to host a Day of Creativity by providing art, filmmaking and improvisation workshops, networking events, entertainment, and an overall support system for the community of actors, composer, directors, students, and industry professionals. (THE SCREENINGS of FILMs ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC)
