To Celebrity Or Not to Celebrity

​We get a lot of questions about celebrity guests for the film festival…A LOT! And don’t get us wrong, we love bringing big names from film to the festival, and they always provide lots of fun for our audiences. But some years – like this year – we are presented with so many hours of amazing films from independent filmmakers that we are face with the hard choice of cutting the screening times to make space for a celebrity guest, or cutting the celebrity time to make space to exhibit great films for our community. These kind of predicaments often lead to a “what would George want” decision for us. Since the festival founders started this event 19 years also to provide an opportunity in our area to support independent filmmaking, we think George and the other founders would be on board with our decision this year to devote our time and resources to those filmmakers and screenwriters from across the globe who submitted their work to the Lindsey Fest because they’ve heard of our tradition of good Southern Hospitality. We hope all our supporters will be on board, too, and come out to see great films and meet the artists who create them. We’re pretty sure there are future celebrities in this group!
