The Atlanta Film Festival will host its 11th annual Creative Conference, ATLFF's educational programming, as part of the 45th annual festival from April 22 - May 2, 2021. The conference will feature three headlining Masterclasses, and dozens of one-on-one conversations and roundtables featuring some of the most well-respected names in the entertainment industry from around the country.

The Creative Conference serves to educate, entertain and enlighten by pulling back the curtain on film and television production to give the ATLFF audience a peek behind the scenes at how projects get made and by whom. The topics of these informative sessions, which will all be presented virtually via Eventive, will include writing, showrunning, producing, directing, cinematography, acting, sound recording, lighting, composing, podcasting, LED virtual stages, distribution, props, stunt work and more.

2. Artist, Art Director, Illustrator, Animator, Music Video Director, Puppeteer, Cartoonist, and 3 time Emmy Award winner Wayne White - Pee-wee's Playhouse, Beauty is Embarrassing, Word Paintings, Wayne-O-Rama
