GFA to be featured at the Chronos Film Fest!

It is with true excitement that I announce the Graffiti Fine Art Documentary will be a feature presentation at the Chronos Film Fest in Albuquerque, New Mexico!

Not only will the film be featured during the 3 day festival but I will also be there taking part in a director’s Q&A as well as panel discussions with other talented filmmakers and audio engineers. The list of featured guests is truly astonishing. Please take the time to go through and read all of these amazing bios. As a young filmmaker, a lot of these people have been inspirational for me as I have learned from the vast amount of knowledge they share online.

To be in a panel discussion with the likes of Philip Bloom, Brad Kremer, Jon Connor and Cristina Valdivieso (among others) is really out of this world.

The festival is November 3rd-5th.
