Road to Chattanooga Film Festival 2019 - interview with Chris Dortch

Eric and I are super excited for tonight's episode, as we continue our pre-coverage of the Chattanooga Film Festival, because tonight we are joined by very special guest - Chris Dortch!! He's the director, creator, founder, maestro....whatever title you want to use... he is the reason that the Chattanooga Film Festival exists!! Among other things, Chris shares the story of what led to the creation of CFF. Hearing Chris talk about why he started CFF really is a testament to the love of cinema and the importance it plays in the lives of so many people. Also, Chris shares some details about some of the films and events...and even drops a hint or two about this year's Secret Screenings (as if we weren't already excited enough about this year's fest)!!!! It was an honor (and an absolute blast!!) talking to Chris Dortch!! If you have even remotely been considering attending the Chattanooga Film Festival this year, we hope that this episode will be the deciding factor that, yes, you do indeed need to go!!


Side note - we were later in getting our previous episode (our CFF 2018 recap) posted than we wanted. So, even though we just posted an episode yesterday...with just two weeks remaining until the start of the Chattanooga Film Festival, we were too excited about tonight's episode to postpone it any later than we already have!

Even though we've already mentioned all of the films when they were released with each wave of announcements, in our next episode we will be discussing which films and events we plan on attending at CFF (and we can already tell you that there are no easy decisions when creating our schedule!)
