Show me and I'll go; go and then show me.
This full-circle quote provides the context in which the Alma Film Festival encompasses, especially from its founder and managing producer, Anthony Page. With a track record of film and related creative production spanning nearly 30 years, his leadership and vision are among the elements providing the driving force and energy behind this festival and related workings.
We recently sat down to discuss the work taking place, starting with his transition from the military (Navy veteran) to connecting and immersing in the creative community to how faith is at the foundation of his previous, current, and future work, especially as it relates to the art of storytelling (you are encouraged to watch the video segment below for more details):
As for his current work with Alma, which is notes may be among the best work he's done, Page shares the evolution of how a trip to the Dominican Republic morphs into something greater than his original assignment. Ranging from understanding of the history to identifying an underserved and under-utilized niche, he recognizes a need, especially for those creatives who are part of emerging communities and audiences. In being a bridge regarding technology and related practices, the festival provides points of access and growth for said audiences (you are invited to watch the segment for more details):
Given their successful launch in the Dominican Republic with their festival (March 17-22, 2026), there's additional programming in place for this year and beyond. Their In-tech conference is scheduled for Atlanta (September 24-25, 2026) and planning is underway for their larger festival, as they return to the Dominican Republic March 12-21, 2027 (as you may refer to their website for more details). With the system they are putting in place, it is positioning their work and resource access for creatives to higher heights (you are encouraged to watch the following segment for more details):
Operating in a principled purpose is what the Alma Film Festival is all about. And when it comes to the work of Anthony Page, it truly is faith-driven.
As he notes, it's transforming from "Show me and I'll go" to "Go and then show me".
And it's showing.
