With the Atlanta Film Festival right around the corner—showcasing an incredible lineup of documentaries from across Georgia—now is the perfect time to pull back the curtain on the festival circuit. We’d love for you to join VC Atlanta’s next DocUQuarium event this April, where we’ll host a panel titled “Festivals and Beyond.” We hope you’ll be part of the conversation!

We’re diving deep into the "Nitty Gritty," including:

The Atlanta Scene: A look at this year’s documentary gems making it on the 2026 film festival circuit (ATLFF, ATL DOC, BronzeLens, Rome Int'l, SCAD, etc.)
FilmFreeway & Fundamentals: Navigating the basics of the application hustle.
The Good, The Bad, & The Indie: Sharing your best (and wildest) festival experiences.
Life After the Premiere: Strategies for semi-theatrical and theatrical distribution.
The Hype Machine: What are your go-to promotion tips & secrets?

If you’ve got stories to tell, lessons learned, or strategies to share, we want to hear from you! This is all about community, connection, and helping each other get our stories in front of the world. Whether you’ve just hit "submit" for the first time or you’ve got a shelf full of laurels, we want your voice in the room.

Let’s get honest, supportive and invigorated! We can’t wait to see you all and dive into the world of "Festivals and Beyond."
