ABOUT THE INDEPENDENT BLACK FILM
Independent Black Film Association, the overseer of the Independent
Black Film Festival (IBFF), was founded in 2003 by Asante Addae and his
business partners, Henry Petty and Bill Moore. The trio wanted to stage an
event for independent filmmakers to showcase their work and discuss
pertinent industry issues. Thus, the Independent Black Film Festival (IBFF)
was born. Merging urban film, music, broadband and gaming technologies,
the Independent Black Film Festival will celebrate the achievement of
artists of color in the arts & cultural entertainment community while
encouraging and empowering upcoming artists, through a showcase of diverse
and provocative film screenings, markets and conferences, panels and
expos. IBFF will showcase "Alternative Media" like computer animation,
film scoring techniques, game development and screenwriting workshops in
tribute to the emerging opportunities for independent filmmakers and
writers. Now in its third year, the IBFF is set to host its best festival
yet! IBFF 2006 takes place March 12 – 19, 2006 in Atlanta, GA. For more

ABOUT THE BRAND ATLANTA CAMPAIGN
The Brand Atlanta Campaign, launched in February 2005, was inspired by
Mayor Shirley Franklin’s New Century Economic Development Plan. The
Campaign is a public/private initiative focused on creating a new,
compelling brand identity and integrated marketing plan for Atlanta. The
Campaign works in partnership with the Atlanta Committee for Progress (ACP).
The ACP, chaired by A.D. “Pete” Correll, chief executive officer and
chairman of Georgia-Pacific Corp., collaborates with the City of Atlanta
on economic development initiatives, advises and guides business
recruitment efforts and capitalizes on synergies between city government,
business and community leadership. The Brand Atlanta Campaign committee
includes volunteers from diverse backgrounds such as city government,
civic organizations and local businesses. For more information, please
