CFAA TESTIMONIALS: ​
​The most important thing I've learned about being a filmmaker in Sacramento is that the CFAA has your back. I'm just getting started with my journey, but at every turn, CFAA has been there with information, connections, and most importantly, encouragement.  ​I highly recommend you join so you don't get left behind. Thanks, CFAA!
