*(ATLANTA) – On Thursday, September 28, the African American Film Critics Association will honor Bronzlens Film Festival executive director, Kathleen Bertrand during SYNERGY 10 at the Auburn Avenue Research Library in Atlanta, GA.
The annual will continue its tradition of bringing Atlanta’s creative and business communities together to foster and strengthen the positive relationships that have helped transform the city into a film and TV production mecca.
