While we intend to have a live-screening in 2021, we will be running virtual screenings through our channel on Eventive in the meantime to spotlight Georgia films. You can find our page here: https://watch.eventive.org/filmimpactgeorgia

About Film Impact Georgia:
Film Impact Georgia is a nonprofit that is uniquely dedicated to using our strength, reputation, and actions to help provide voice to those making independent films in Georgia. Georgia’s industry anchor, Atlanta, for so long has been known as “the city too busy to hate.” What we don’t want to do, however, is ignore that we come from many different walks of life, racial backgrounds, socio-economic groups, religions, and points of view. We must not forget that everyone’s personal experiences are different, and there are strengths in our differences. The opportunities are not the same. We want to make sure that the people who are making films here in Georgia get to say what they need and, more importantly, get the opportunity to also be a working part of the change and growth that is happening.
