    A Great Short Film Festival showcasing some of North Carolinas Independent Filmmakers. A+ Quality and Friendly Atmosphere for All. This was our second year in the competition and will most definitely be in the 2023 Festival.

    A smaller festival, but one with great people and selections. Absolutely worth the value, free drinks and alcohol, cheap popcorn, and 8 films that you get to watch alongside local filmmakers. Good amount of awards as well.
