What's all this fuss about a SECRET SCREENING at the Atlanta Film Festival?

Here's all we can say about this:
The screening is Friday, April 20 at 11:00 pm at the Landmark Midtown Art Cinema. We are sworn to secrecy. We absolutely can't reveal the title. We can't confirm or deny rumors. We can't entertain guesses. We can't even ;) ;) if you guess right. Just trust us. You will not be disappointed if you buy a ticket to the secret screening.

6 Packs will NOT be honored for this show. FESTIVAL PASSES will most likely be boxed out. (ALL ACCESS PASS holders will get in.)

A very limited number of advance tickets are on sale now!

PANEL: A Conversation With Will Packer And Rob Hardy Of Rainforest Films
In 1994, Director Rob Hardy and Producer William Packer created Rainforest Productions, a now Atlanta-based film production and distribution company. In moving to Atlanta, Rainforest blossomed with its first theatrical release, Trois, which grossed 1.2 million dollars, reaching the million-dollar mark faster than any previous film distributed by African American producers. In 2001 they partnered with Sony’s Columbia TriStar to produce and distribute other urban films, such as Motives, The Gospel, and the most recent smash box office hit, Stomp The Yard. Rob and Will are on hand for this limited engagement to answer your questions regarding their distribution success while pursuing their love of filmmaking.

PANEL: International House Of Production
We won’t be serving an all you can eat breakfast at this IHOP, but we will be serving up an international smorgasbord of information from experts from different film markets around the world and discuss how approaching exhibition or distribution methods differ from the American film market.

Moderated by Steve Montal, CEO, Caucho Technology, Inc.
