LOCALS ONLY is a recurring screening of short films from Georgia’s independent filmmakers, with each event having a distinct theme and focus. Featured short films come entirely from submissions.

This November, we’re stretching spooky season into overtime with FALL 2024 LOCALS ONLY: WHAT HAUNTS YOU? It’s time to leave aside the gut-wrenching and the pulse-pounding along with your Halloween candy hangover as we slip out of October’s jump scares and into something a bit more ethereal, mysterious, and, well, HAUNTING. Join us for a showcase of truly unforgettable horrors on screen.

All selected films will screen at the event, scheduled to take place on November 21st at the Tara Theatre, and receive Official Selection laurels. Additionally, selected filmmakers will receive a waiver to submit their LOCALS ONLY entry to the next Atlanta Film Festival. Each selected film will receive 5 free tickets to attend the screening as well as two free tickets to the Tara Theatre ($30 value).

Jury and Audience prizes will be awarded. Each will come with a $100 cash prize. Winning films will also receive winner laurels, 2 All-Access badges each to the next Atlanta Film Festival ($800+ value) and 2 Tara Theatre ticket/popcorn/drink combos ($54 value).

COSTUMES ENCOURAGED! Free popcorn and soda for the most haunting looks!
