Talent1Media is the non-profit (503)c organization behind the 2nd Annual Tom Film Fest.  Last year's TOMfest was focusing on AIDS in Africa, and they worked with several organizations including World Vision.  This year the issue we tackled: Human Trafficking.  We invited several organizations including ICare Community, World Vision, Oasis USA, LA Loves, LA Unity Coalition with it's members and JustOne.  They were all a great resource for attendees to get involved in practical ways here in the U.S. and over seas.  

The festival was held at the George & Sakaye Aratani Theatre in the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles on July 7th.  With over 600 in attendance, 9 Films, Free Appetizers & Refreshments, neat Lights (one of them splashing our logo on the theatre), 15 volunteers, our friend DJ Seanzerelli (spinnin' bossa to hiphop) and some well committed individuals, the festival was a success!  People were connecting with eachother, resources, speakers and of course the Films!  Tan Panda was on the scene as well to help.  Come January and We'll be planning the 3rd annual.  I'm very excited about it!
