    Being part of the Southern Screen Festival was an amazing experience. Although we couldn’t attend due to scheduling conflicts, we were really impressed by the festival’s exceptional support and dedication to both the films and filmmakers. Their professionalism truly made a lasting impression.

    I was soooo honored to have my film The Esteemed Priority screening at Southern Screen. It is a wonderful event that gets better each year. I really appreciated being allowed to demonstrate my stop motion silhouette paper cut out animation technique.

    This festival embodies Southern Hospitality. From the Q&A I participated in to the generous gift box sent to the filmmakers, I felt appreciated and really happy that my documentary was a part of this year's event. The films selected demonstrated inclusiveness and diversity and the festival itself celebrated independent filmmaking. Thank you for a great experience!
