Financial Literacy Film Festival 2023 Las Vegas #finlitfilmfest

 

Las Vegas, Nevada - The Fourth Annual Financial Literacy Film Festival is just around the corner, and organizers are excited to unveil the details of the highly anticipated event. 

Scheduled for April 30th, 2023, from 4-7 pm Invite Only at the Taverna Costera, with Live Entertainment by DJ Ralph this year's festival’s goal is to"Break the Stigma of Talking About Money." 


The Financial Literacy Film Festival is an event designed to promote financial literacy through the medium of film. This year's festival features the highly acclaimed short film, GUNPOINT, as its centerpiece. The film is a dark comedy written and directed by Bill Marsilii. 


In addition to the film screening, this year's festival is proud to welcome two special guests. Bill Marsilii, the celebrated screenwriter of the hit film, "Deja Vu," who 
has submitted his project to the festival this year.
 

As well as Keynote speaker, Kelly Schwarze is an Emmy Award recipient filmmaker, author, and entrepreneur who has successfully produced and directed eight feature films, three documentaries, and many TV commercials. 
“Today maybe more than any other time in our lives Financial Literacy may be the difference between a successful life and a life of struggle.”says John Duffy a producer, writer, and sponsor of the Festival “Take control of your Finances so you can succeed”. 


The CNBC states “A report from the National Financial Educators Council shows that 38% of individuals in a recent survey said their lack of financial literacy cost them at least $500 in 2022, including 15% who said it set them back by $10,000 or more. That’s up from about 11% in 2021.”


These statistics are frightening although the FinLit Festival aims to reduce these numbers. The festival is graciously sponsored by SPCKRFT, Impact Releasing, Taverna Costera, Indie Film Factory, and Fulton Film Company. 

There will be food, drinks, and networking opportunities for attendees before and after the screening.

Tanji Got Talent stands for GOOD.

Teach. Coach. Mentor. is our motto.

Community organizers in West Africa use arts and creativity to keep children off of the streets and gainfully occupies learning new skills.

As the community comes together to learn new skills, they are positioning themselves for a brighter future with more options. Singing, Acting, Dancing, Audio, Film, and much more!

The opportunities that are created for the community in Tanji are open to all children and young adults, even if they cannot afford tuition to traditional schools.


We want to show our friends in West Africa that we stand in solidarity with them in their mission to educate our future generations. 

A huge thank you to Eben Yelson from Ghana, and Modoulamin ML Sowe from ML's Fulton Film in The Gambia, for connecting us with Mr. Momodou S. Jallow, the visionary CEO behind Tanji Got Talent.



The money pays for food, water, locations, equipment, safety gear, and other basic necessities. The money goes a long way, and has a great positive impact on many needy people.




The community members involved will all be learning new skills, which can be  translated to income producing employment for them in the near future.
