Last night was the premiere of the Media that Matters Film Festival! 12 awesome new short films that all inspire action and change were screened with many filmmakers in attendance. Two of those filmmakers were myself and fellow TakePart blogger Wendy Cohen - we made a short film with the Meerkat Media Collective about the disappearing honeybees and local beekeepers.

The films in this year’s fest are also up online now so and watch some of them!

Below are some pictures from the event and stay tuned for video from the premiere and more pictures and video from the awards ceremony tonight and the second screening that takes place tomorrow. And come back next week for profiles on some of the films that are a part of this years festival!
