As a tribute to Michael Latt, New Media Ventures Summit held their first ever short film competition providing awards to three ground-breaking filmmakers.
Glenn Kaino, born, raised, and still residing in LA, is an artist who consistently believes in the forward momentum that art can possess to build community and create change in the world.
FFCON2024 featured a series of programs, interactive events, art installations, performances, and spaces for collective joy, grief, and healing. To open the Saturday session, the Congress paid tribute to the beloved and much missed Michael Latt.
Centered on the belief that film has the unique power to spark and activate collective change, we hosted an enriching filmmakers lunch during the NMV Summit to bring together trailblazers, innovators, and changemakers who are making significant impact in the film realm.
To honor his legacy, his family has established the Michael Latt Legacy Fund to foster love, hope, and healing and provide grants that support non-profit organizations and artists working to make lasting positive social change.
