Only Life After All.”

“From original immersive content to thought provoking documentaries, inspirational features, and

entertaining shorts alongside a strong collection of southern stories combined with films made right

here in Georgia, this year's festival has a little something for everyone," festival founder and

programmer Tabitha Lynne Walker said. "As always, we strive to provide films that make you want to

learn and experience more about the filmmakers we have the opportunity to showcase. This year's

collection of films is something really special and we're excited to be able to share them with our

audience in August."
