What is the Southern Television and Film Summit (STAFS)?

With a mission to bring diverse visionaries together to define the future of entertainment, the inaugural Southern Television and Film Summit is a highly anticipated, annual event that fosters business and creative opportunities in development, creation, production and programming of fiction and non-fiction content for television, film and emerging media platforms. The goal is to provide a dynamic marketplace of ideas where diverse voices gather to debate issues, discuss emerging trends, and identify new talent in the field.

STAFS implements our mission by providing summit attendees access to a dynamic slate of public speakers, all eager to showcase their wealth of knowledge in an engaging forum. The high impact line-up includes talented and proven industry pros leading lasting education sessions, followed by networking social time, professional enhancement activities and deal-making opportunities like pitch sessions and one-on-one mentoring.

Why Should I Attend?

Set in the heart of Atlanta--World Headquarters of Turner Broadcasting and home of Tyler Perry Studios, Rainforest Films, Raleigh Studios, Screen Gems, and Turner Studios--the Southern Television & Film Summit will capitalize on the Georgia production juggernaut. Thanks to the state's competitive tax incentives, Georgia hosted over seven hundred film & television productions last year alone, assuming a coveted spot as a destination for features and series alike. Because Atlanta also showcases a unique mix of diverse local talent--both above and below the line--STAFS attendees, producers and development executives will have a first crack at the next generation entertainment entrepreneurs.

The organizers are dedicated to establishing STAFS as an annual source for networking, education, professional development and artistic collaboration. STAFS was born out of the need to create synergy amongst the growing television and film community in the South.

The diverse list of attendees will include notable key-note speakers, decision-makers, network and studio development executives, producers, directors, writers, and editors, as well as attorneys, talent managers, casting agents, actors, pitchers, and production students.

This annual gathering of industry talent will become the epicenter of new ideas around on the business of television, film, and new media.
