This Special Edition Eat, Drink & B-Indie is presented by #ATLFS as part of the Telluride Mountainfilm on Tour ATL | 2016. For details on September's film networking event, visit Eat, Drink & B-Indie: Roll the Tax Credits.

Join us on Saturday, August 27th, from 5pm-6pm at Highland Ballroom for a special presentation on the benefits of maintaining an eco-friendly film set. The presentation will be led by Green Consultant and Executive Director of Sustainable Entertainment Production Alliance, Micheline Birkhead.

The presentation will take place during a Mountainfilm Happy Hour at Highland Ballroom, so stay tuned for drink specials!
