UMFF 2008 Sponsorships - Cash and/or In-Kind

Sponsorship is a vital part of the 7th Annual Urban Mediamakers Film Festival (UMFF). We invite you to consider partnering with us as we bring "The Movement in Progress through Independent Filmmaking" to Atlanta, Georgia on October 17-19, 2008. The UMFF 2008 provides a unique opportunity for sponsors to continue branding themselves as innovative, artsy, stylistic and distinct to independent mediamakers that are savvy consumers. UMFF is a 501(c)3 non-profit, charitable organization.

UMFF 2008 sponsorships are very affordable. Our staff work on a volunteer basis, and all sponsorship dollars are used for actual expenses and prizes to winning filmmakers. Partial proceeds benefits the Young Urban Mediamakers (YUMs) that pair media mentors and teenagers to educate, build self-esteem, and offer an avenue for teenagers to be heard through filmmaking. We invite you to join us with your support.
