The Smithsonian to roll out community filmmaking showcase 'Futures We Dream'

"Futures We Dream" consists of new works created over the past year by nine independent filmmakers selected via a partnership with the non-profit Alliance for Media Arts + Culture.

Musician LL Cool J and Friends executive producer and director Kevin Bright, both advisors to the museum, are co-chairs of the series. They helped pick the Alliance as a partner, craft the project's call for entries, and provide feedback on rough cuts.
