The Art of Movie Making Film Festival (TAMMFF) brings its Regional Summit to Atlanta from June 20–22, with a program focused entirely on the creatives who make movies, TV, and game video happen—but never walk the red carpet. Now in its fourth year, TAMMFF is the only national festival dedicated to behind-the-scenes creatives, and this Atlanta stop highlights some of the industry’s most essential and least recognized talent.
Featured Artists & Programming Highlights
- Terry T. Miles, director of I Want Her (currently in the media spotlight), will show a partial screening and Q&A with the crew’s contributions including the intimacy coordinator.
- Sarah Irwin, professional stunt performer credited with Thunderbolts, Loki, Agatha All Along, Gotham, and The Family Plan, will join the summit to discuss the physical and creative demands of her role as a top-tier stunt double in major studio projects.
- Jill Perry, voiceover actor and Atlanta-based coach, known for work with NASA, Marriott, and Arby’s, will share insight on the growing field of voiceover work. With over 200 eLearning modules under her belt and decades of experience in stage and commercial acting, Jill also trains aspiring voice talent at the Atlanta Voiceover Studio.
