The Nashville filmmaking community is experiencing widespread economic shut-downs due to COVID-19. In response, NFG 501(c)(3) is launching a fund to provide financial relief to the hardest hit support crew during these pervasive job cancelations. We’re asking for tax deductible donations to send aid to the most heavily impacted crew, who are the lifeblood of our film community. Our sets wouldn't function without their dedication. It's time to show how much we care.
