ICYMI:  Here’s a few pics from the BronzeLens Women Superstars Luncheon red carpet with honorees Margaret Avery, Julie Dash, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, Nina Yang Bongiovi and Dawn Gilliam!   These amazing ladies were honored at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis last week for their contributions to the film and television industry.

About the BronzeLens Film Festival

Founded in 2009, The BronzeLens Film Festival of Atlanta, Georgia is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing national and worldwide attention to Atlanta as a center for film and film production for people of color. Its mission is twofold: to promote Atlanta as the new film Mecca for people of color; and to showcase films and provide networking opportunities that will develop the next generation of filmmakers. Since its inception the BronzeLens Film Festival has evolved as one of the most comprehensive film festivals for filmmakers of color in the United States.

 

I had to make a dash to conduct my first “official” food photoshoot before the carpet ended… but here’s a few fun pics I snapped. Click through the gallery and enjoy!
