Your stories are a one of a kind miracle of sorts! There is no other story like yours - it is a genuinely amazing construct created to leave your unique mark! A Pecan Pickling Film Festival is a new kid - second year- on the festival block and we are so proud to celebrate short to feature filmmakers like you! Our mission is to feature films that elevate, celebrate and inspire great stories and challenge you, as FILMMAKERS to LEAP - the exhilaration of taking a LEAP of faith - stories of hope and persistence; a journey toward innovation, progress and transformation; determination to overcome obstacles and break through limitations. We welcome experienced and emerging filmmakers and student filmmakers as well, to showcase talent, vision, and creativity in a unique location in northeastern North Carolina. The Festival includes a red carpet reception, a variety of workshops, short-film to feature film screenings, and awards and recognition ceremonies. And most importantly, it is you that we celebrate as you leave your mark. C'mon and join us!
