(ATLANTA, GA December 2015) – On Saturday, December 19, 2015, a team of six students from The Art Institute of Atlanta had the opportunity to film the 2015 Mayor’s Masked Ball. The students were tasked with covering the red carpet, event program and collecting b-roll of the overall event. They are currently editing a recap video. 

The Mayor’s Masked Ball is one of metropolitan Atlanta’s signature fundraising galas and premier social events of the holiday season. Founded 31 years ago by former Mayor Andrew Young and Billye S. Aaron, its purpose is to involve celebrities, dignitaries, civic leaders, volunteers, public officials and other supporters.
