As many of you know, one of the issues that is dear to my heart is AIDS and HIV. It is also one of the reasons I became a photographer.
I started a series on HIV in rural America in 2006 and part of the project is going to be screened at the AIDS ATHENS FILM FESTIVAL in Georgia, on World AIDS Day, Dec. 1st.
The Film Festival will be showcasing international and local short-films on HIV/AIDS to build awareness and understanding of the disease. It highlights people living with HIV, their challenges and victories, vaccine research, prevention and activism throughout the globe.
World AIDS Day Film Festivals are happening all over the country. Check to see if there is one in your area.

Tim Gruber and Jenn Ackerman use both photography and video to tell stories for editorial and commercial clients.
