we're with phil

Like any film festival, we love to see our screeners find success.  All the films we exhibit are special, but occasionally there is one that hits close to home, making our investment in its success even greater.  In April 2011, much of the area south and east of the Shoals was devastated by an E5 tornado, including the small town of Phil Campbell, Alabama.  27 people from Phil Campbell died that day, and many of our friends and colleagues suffered there.  It just so happens there is an international group of folks named Phil Campbell,  who had convened previously in the town, and Brooklyn Phil Campbell decided to have another convention there as a relief effort.  UNA alum and filmmaker Andrew Reed documented the story, and in 2012 one the “Sweet Home Alabama” Award at the George Lindsey UNA Film Festival.  “I’m with Phil” has gone on to other festivals to win other awards, and now there is a Kickstarter campaign to get the film distribution.  The Lindsey Festival is with Andrew and “I’m with Phil.”  We hope our followers will be too.
