As Emerging Professionals Director, Thomas took charge coordinating our 2018 & 2019 Film Series. He created a partnership with a local theater, a/perature cinema, to provide us with a great venue. Through AIANC’s ACTIVATE program, Thomas was able to secure funding that allowed us to both show great films and include a panel of speakers at each event. He was even able to bring the filmmaker herself to our last event to share her thoughts!
