If you went to our “Film and Food” event at ATLFF 2014, you know the film that anchored the event was the documentary SRIRACHA, about the now-famous hot sauce in the green-capped bottle.

2nd Annual Fundraising Campaign to Bring Filmmakers to ATLFF 2015 begins
Filmmakers create connections with an audience simply by making movies, but when we bring those filmmakers to theaters to meet moviegoers in person, magic happens. Become a backer of our annual Kickstarter project (which raises funds for filmmaker travel) and you'll be responsible for some of that magic. With some of the great rewards we've cooked up, you'll get to experience it too. (Even if you don't live in Atlanta.)
Trying to fund your film? Join us at Eat, Drink, & B-Indie next Tuesday!
This month's Eat, Drink, & B-Indie presented by Stella Artois is all about crowdfunding. Whether you are considering Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Seed&Spark or some other crowdfunding website for your film, or you are a frequent backer, join us as we discuss the different platforms, the dos and don'ts of campaigning and our very own Kickstarter campaign.
