Meet Gregg Bishop. Buried Alive’s 2024 Filmmaker of the Year. Gregg’s remarkable contributions to the film community, particularly with his latest award-winning shorts, The Many Worlds of George Goodman and Howl at the Dead. Although he resides in California, Gregg has chosen to film in Georgia, giving back to the local community and enriching the state’s cinematic landscape. His films not only entertain but also showcase the unique talents of Georgia’s filmmakers and actors. From exploring themes of loyalty and courage in the face of supernatural forces to navigating the complexities of alternate realities, Gregg’s work resonates deeply with audiences. His commitment to using the power of cinema to inspire and connect people makes him a standout figure in the industry and a fitting honoree for this Filmmaker of the year award.
We are thrilled to present the Georgia premieres of both shorts at The Plaza during this film block. Not only will audiences enjoy these films, but we will also conduct a deep dive into filmmaking in today’s landscape, discussing Gregg’s creative process and what he has in store for the future. With a career marked by innovation and passion, Gregg continues to inspire and entertain, making him a standout figure in the film industry.
