American Black Film Festival

The American Black Film Festival (ABFF) is a 4-day retreat and international film market dedicated to strengthening the Black filmmaking community.  They hold workshops for aspiring filmmakers providing them with resources, education, and career development.  Usually held in Miami each year, this year's festival falls on June 24-27th.

If I can make it, I'm signing up for Robert Townsend's workshop "The Ultimate Pitch."  Additional festival details can be found on the ABFF website.
