Savannah Film Alliance to Honor SSU’s Kareem McMichael

The Savannah Film Alliance will recognize Savannah State University’s (SSU) Kareem McMichael during its annual Honors Gala on November 17 at Victory North in Savannah. 

McMichael, the online content manager in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communications at SSU, is being recognized for his invaluable contributions to the local film and television industry. An award-winning filmmaker and documentarian, McMichael has produced short films in various genres and documentaries with social justice themes. 

A native of Macon, Ga., he has worked for the ABC, Fox, and CBS news affiliates in Savannah and is currently serving on the Savannah Cultural Affairs Commission. He is on the Board of Governors for the Southeast Emmy National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and previously served on the Savannah Film Commission. He is the director of the Southern Regional Press Institute, a two-day media conference hosted by SSU, and is the advisor for Tiger’s Roar, the student newspaper. 

A Savannah State University alum who graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism, McMichael earned a certificate in production from the Georgia Film Academy. 

“We are so proud of Kareem McMichael,” said Dr. Juliana Trammel, chair of SSU’s Department of Journalism Mass Communication. “This award is well deserved for his great talent and dedication to film. We are proud of him twice: for his alum status and as a valued member of the journalism and mass communications team.”
