That’s Georgiana Lee who will be leaving this summer after eight years of service to Vision Maker Media (VMM). She started as assistant director back when we were called Native American Public Telecommunications.
Over the years, she has worked with VMM on 93 production and acquisition contracts, nine film festivals and provided mentorship and direction to dozens of student workers and interns. She has delivered 35 reports to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and represented us at dozens of meetings, conferences and workshops. We will miss her monsterous sense of humor and engaging smile. Please join us in wishing George the best as she begins this new chapter in her life.

Key Findings from National Voter Survey
On Federal Funding for Public Television
On behalf of public television, the bipartisan polling team of Hart Research Associates (D) and American Viewpoint (R) conducted a nationwide telephone survey among a representative cross section of 1,001 registered voters. Interviewing was conducted from Jan. 4-8, 2017, and the survey results have an overall margin of error of + or - 3.1 percentage points. The survey explored voters’ attitudes toward public television and their feelings about cutting federal funding for public television.
Voters overwhelmingly support federal funding for public television. This support is the majority view across the political spectrum. Nearly three in four (73 percent) voters oppose eliminating federal funding, with 44 percent of voters strongly opposing it, including 83 percent of Democrats, 82 percent of independents, and 62 percent of Republicans. Six in 10 (59 percent) Trump voters and those who voted for a Republican for Congress in 2016 (60 percent) oppose eliminating federal funding for public television, and among voters in states that flipped from blue to red in the 2016 presidential election, 76 percent agree that federal funding for public television should not be eliminated.
Across the four regions of the country, solid majorities in the Northeast
(82 percent), South (68 percent), Midwest (74 percent), and West (69 percent) oppose elimination of federal funding. The support for federal funding of public television persists across all segments of the voting public.

How Your Support Helps to Serve Indian Country
According to Cathleen O'Conell, producer of
Sousa on the Rez: Marching to the Beat of a Different Drum, "Vision Maker Media is a singular resource in the United States, dedicated to supporting Native storytellers. Vision Maker's years of experience, wealth of contacts, exemplar reputation, and established distribution network opens doors for storytellers--giving films and filmmakers a supportive home."
Your continued support... makes Native films available to a wider audience through special initiatives and by distributing documentaries to educational institutions and individuals through Vision Maker Media's distribution networks.
We thank those of you who provided your support during the current fiscal quarter.
