ep401: Chattanooga Film Festival 2023 Preview - special guest Chris Dortch II

We interrupt your irregularly scheduled programming to bring you a special preview of the 2023 Chattanooga Film Festival with the Founder of the Fest, Executive Director, Lead Programmer, and total mensch Chris Dortch II! Chris chats about the challenges and triumphs of creating a hybrid festival that’s returning to on-ground programming for the first time since 2019, while also maintaining the accessibility of a virtual fest. He also gives a sneak peek at the cavalcade of delights they have in store this year to celebrate the festival’s tenth anniversary. And don’t tell anybody, but there’s a good chance he may spill the beans on a few things that haven’t been formally announced yet! The 2023 Chattanooga Film Festival will be held virtually June 23rd - 29th, with in-person screenings June 23rd - 25th at the historic (and haunted!) Read House Hotel in Chattanooga, TN.
