FBR is the intersection of sustainability and social responsibility for the entertainment industry. Mostly, we receive donated items from film productions. Those items are then: kept for prop rentals, sold to the general public (think: super fun thrift store), or donated to other non-profits in Chatham County.   Our community is becoming quite the hotbed for film productions--yay! What an honor it is to help implement a consciousness to the way business gets done (relatively early in the game). We hope to make some good habits! #notinadumpster   I don't know any way to celebrate in Savannah... other than raising a glass. Eva Radke, our founder is flying down-let's show her a good time! So, BYOB (yup) and some dancing shoes. Be prepared to photo booth-we'll have the props covered.  Call (912) 677-7038
