About the Festival: Founded by Ralph Wilcox, director of the Southwest Georgia Film Commission and veteran actor, and local Colquitt, GA community leaders Joy Jinks and Karen Kimbrel, Jokara-Micheaux Film Festival takes its name from its founders, as well as Oscar Micheaux, the first African American to write, direct and produce a feature length film in 1919. This is the place to be on Labor Day weekend 2007. Whether you are a novice filmmaker, producer, director, writer, editor, actor, graphic artist, below-the-line or above-the-line production support, this festival is a great way to meet peers and showcase your work.
