On January 14, 2010, the National Alliance of Media Arts and Culture was one of thirteen independent creator organizations showing support for net neutrality in an FCC notice regarding the preservation of an Open Internet.  The comments submitted by the various organizations bear witness to the call for enforceable and lawful rules that can ensure equality to all creators on the Internet.  In a growing digital world, NAMAC wants to make sure every artist and creator has the opportunity to reach out to their potential audiences.

Co-signers include Future of Music Coalition, the Writers Guild of America and the American Music Center to name a few.

Director/writer Alexis Dos Santos is expected to attend, along with lead actors Déborah François and Fernando Tielve.
