Mara and the entire Atlanta Comedy Film Festival team are literal CLASS ACTS. Top to bottom, this festival was well-organized, communicative, and professional. The collaboration with Cinema Life put them over the top as their social media / branding presence is on FIRE. ACFF is without a doubt, one of my FAVORITE festivals -- let alone the BEST in the South / Atlanta area. Get your laugh on and submit to this amazing family! You won't regret it!

It was such a great experience being at the festival to pitch my feature length script Lunar Relatives at Atlanta Comedy Film Festival. They brought in four actors for the table reading so the table reading went so well and I realized that almost all the festival staffs read my script and knew my story well. I was so touch by their passion and enthusiasm on my project. Thank you!
