CFAA FILMMAKERS FORUM / MEETING

Tues., May 21st, 7pm

Roxanne Avent Taylor
Executive Producer,
Hidden Empire Films

Combining her creative and financial sensibilities with an eye for film projects that connect with evolving audiences, Roxanne Avent has quickly ascended as a pivotal and influential player in the world of independent film production.

Avent thrives is today's hyper-competitive and increasingly complicated world of filmmaking, eschewing obstacles that can stymie the most hardened of producers, while building a diverse portfolio of films that are critical hits, commercial successes and cult favorites.

It is rare to have the resources, savvy, competence and confidence, to invest in and successfully produce feature films and franchise properties. Avent brings all of these traits, and more, to Hidden Empire Film Group (HEFG), the film company she co-founded and has run with partner Deon Taylor, since 2000.

Hidden Empire Films has several films in distribution, including 'Traffik', Meet The Blacks' and 'Supremacy', with their newest movie 'The Intruder' starring Dennis Quaid releasing on May 3rd.

Networking at 6:30, meeting starts at 7
Free to CFAA members and only V$5 for non-members and guests.

Different topics and content production tips from an array of informative speakers are featured every month.

The CFAA's annual President's Award for 2018 goes to the Sacramento region's most indomitable 'force' in the local film and media community:

SALLY FORCIER
Sally is a formidable champion of all things film, and of making Sacramento an exciting hub of production. She has operated Forcier Casting for almost 20 years, coaching, advising and tirelessly giving of herself and her time to advocate for the growth of others in the local production community, and in making Sacramento a professionally recognized industry. In the last couple of years she has branched out to add full-time producing to her array of creative services and has already successfully co-produced a few major features films that were shot here at home, along with managing other commercial casting work and producing smaller indie projects - all while planning her wedding at the same time!

Sally's stated passion on her own website is "to be a part of the creative process on set, inspire and help others realize their dreams" - and I believe that we are a better community because of her doing just that.
