On Thursday, I embark on a trip to the 31st annual Atlanta Film Festival. I’m sitting on a panel Saturday morning (entitled “The State of Independent Film”) along with filmmakers Andrew Bujalski, Alison Dickey, and more. Plus, I’m part of the shorts jury. I’m excited to attend, as I’ve actually never been to Atlanta, besides the airport. I’m also happy to celebrate the first year fellow blogger Gabe Wardell is heading up the event. I’m a big Brian Newman fan, but I’m confident Gabe took over the festival reins quite well.
