Congratulations to Kathleen Dodge and the El Dorado/Lake Tahoe Film Office. Yesterday's final vote was 3-2 with a revisit in a year to keep the office funded... Which is LUCKY because Kathleen just secured a multi-million film project for the region!!

It was awesome to see so many people that came out in person and online to show their support and speak on her behalf., The CFAA was well-represented by current and past members and board members. You all made me so proud!! Hope to see you all at the upcoming ❤ I Love Film Mixer this Friday.
