The 2019 South Georgia Film Festival again looks to celebrate the art and industry of film across the region. Along with three days of films and panels, we are hosting a celebration of the creative spirit here in Valdosta.

We are proud to have continuing sponsor Georgia Power this year to support the hard work and contribution of film to our community. Along with our host institution, Valdosta State University, their contribution allows us to be able to host a series of educational and informative panels during the festival.

This year, Seed & Spark’s Brandi Nicole Payne will present about crowdfunding and how to develop your brand as a filmmaker. Brandi is an actor, writer and artivist, as well as Crowdfunding Specialist at Seed&Spark, who splits her time between Atlanta and Los Angeles. As one of three filmmakers chosen for the inaugural Emergence Program (a camera and equipment grant for female filmmakers), Brandi recently made her directorial debut with her short film ALOHA, which was crowdfunded on Seed&Spark and supported by a grant from Grant Larson Productions. Most recently she completed the HBO Access Writing Fellowship and was featured on CW’s Dynasty. She can next be seen in the indie feature The Mentor.

Producer Tara Ansley will be a judge at this year’s festival. Having worked in reality and episodic television around Atlanta, her first feature film, TRAGEDY GIRLS, experienced a successful festival run before airing on HULU is currently available on BluRay at Best Buy. Her film ST. AGATHA recently finished its festival run, while her next film is about to begin.

Receiving submissions from across the Southeast and the World since April, we are celebrating our Official Early Selections of films that have stood out amongst the early submissions. These films represent the four categories we are featuring in the festival. As we approach our submission deadline, we look forward to announcing many more great films and filmmakers a part of this year’s festival.
