Day 2 is underway! Jan 10, 2007 11:42AM
We're just getting started here in Augusta and for those of you that cannot be here, we wanted to post a mildly "interactive" link that will help you see some of the great press coverage that we have received. It's been exciting to have the Augusta media embrace what we're doing and it's really creating a great word-of-mouth promotion.

Check out this link for a short video about some behind the scenes stuff.

Thanks to all of you for the films that make our fetsival happen! We really enjoyed last night's selections and cannot wait until 6PM for the beginning of night TWO!

It Is Finished Dec 28, 2006 09:32PM
The schedule is finally finished, after several arduous late nights of squeezing 46 hours of screening into five days. We are excited about the changes to this year's festival: adding a second venue, the very cool intimate Le Chat Noir (right around the corner from the Imperial), InFocus Forums, more parties, and best of all - Sunday's "Best of Fest" which will screen the top award winning film in each category. And more to come in the next few days.... of course if I could figure out how to use withoutabox's film festival scheduler, it would make life so much easier... maybe tomorrow! - The Rooster -

    Thanks so much for accepting "The Nutz" into this year's Southern Fried Film Festival. The entire cast is very excited about this. This is going to be its premiere and I hope that Georgia loves this flick.

    Hey Southern Fried! I've got a question. Since you have extended your submission date to the 10th, are you still going to try to keep your notification date on the 15th or are you going to push it back? If so, what's your new notification date? Thanks!

    Hey guys. I loved going to Southern Fried Flicks last year. It was great fun and the festival staff was really nice. I met other filmmakers with whom I still keep in touch. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to go this year with my new doc. I'll keep my fingers crossed!
