We have officially released our official selections and finalized screening schedule, which you can see here. We got many great submissions from all over the country and the selection process was not an easy one.

For those that were selected, congratulations and we hope you’ll be able to attend the festival to see your film screened.

If you were not selected, please know that we carefully reviewed each film and because of the limited number of timeslots, simply could not accept as many films as we would’ve liked. We hope you will still attend, and as a token of our appreciation, two VIP passes will be waiting for you at the door.

Congratulations again to our selections and good luck at the festival!

Well, September 1st came and went, and our submission period is now closed. Wow, were we really impressed, both by the amount of films submitted and their overall quality. The festival committee is hurredly reviewing all films and we should be making announcements for official selections early the week of September 11th.

A couple other things to note. We’ve just posted information on this year’s awards and prizes. We think as a first-year event we came up with some good stuff. Plus we’re still working on some additional giveaways or freebies for attendees.

Also, the host for this event, The Lafayette Hotel, has created a special for festival attendees. If you book a room the 29th and/or 30th with them, we’ll throw in two free passes!

One more thing, we’ll be selling advance tickets online any day now, so keep watching for that. You’ll also be able to buy them at People’s News on Putnam and Third in Marietta.

More soon, including official selections and detailed schedules for both days!

Update: Tickets now available for sale online!
