Mission Statement

The Alabama Filmmakers Association is a non-profit organization created to promote, develop, and establish the industry of filmmaking by supporting the Alabama State Film Office, Regional Film Offices and Filmmakers across the state of Alabama.

Overview

The Alabama Filmmakers Association was established in 1991to support the Alabama State Film Office, Regional Film Offices, and Filmmakers across the state. AFA was established as a non-profit corporation in 1993. Statewide conventions were held to unify Filmmakers and establish a strong filmmaking base in the state of Alabama. Recently AFA has been revamped to build a stronger support group due to competitive incentive programs from other states. AFA is governed by a board of directors from across the state of Alabama so that each region is represented. AFA plans to attend major film markets and festivals around the world to promote and secure film productions that will be shot in the state of Alabama. AFA plans to develop a major talent base by promoting the existing state talent and creating training programs for up-and-coming filmmakers. AFA plans to establish a grant program for existing an up-and coming filmmakers and productions. The Alabama Filmmakers Association will pursue and support a state incentive program which will not only promote the industry of film in Alabama, but will raise it to a superior level.

AFA is supported by grants and contributions from individual and corporate sponsors.
