Sean Kafer (Teaching Faculty II, Film, Video, Animation, and New Genres) recently received an honorary mention in the Spark the Vote Challenge by the Why Do You Vote? Social Action Campaign. This mention recognized “Don’t Tell Me Your Vote Doesn’t Matter,” a short film directed and produced by Kafer and activist Mariah Smith.
The film merges Kafer’s passion for impactful storytelling, voter engagement, and education advocacy. The work of Kafer and Smith sought to inspire Milwaukee communities to use their vote to promote transformative power in our nation’s future.
