McDonough Storytellers Film Festival

This June 5th and 6th, the city of McDonough is hosting the inaugural McDonough Storytellers Film Festival (MSFF) in multiple locations in the charming and historic McDonough town square, approximately 30 miles South of Atlanta. 

Created by Samantha LaCroix and David Jongebreur, this festival celebrates the art of storytelling through numerous mediums, ranging from traditional categories like feature film, screenplay, and shorts to more unique categories like advertising, audio drama, book cover, novel, and more. The festival accepts a variety of unique art forms as long as they fit into one of the various categories.

MSFF is dedicated to showcasing the talent and craft of compelling storytellers, with a particular focus on films that celebrate a positive aspect of humanity, are created by women, are directed by first-time filmmakers over 40, or meaningfully incorporate music. At the discretion of the judges and screening committee, select submissions in these categories will be recognized with special awards.

The two-day festival features a jam-packed agenda of industry panels, networking galas, seminars, workshops, hand-curated screenings, and more at select venues in the McDonough Square, with many local businesses also participating in the festivities.
