Atlanta Welcomes Indie Night Film Festival
Atlanta turned out for this star-studded event on June 11, 2023. As the host of the evening, Morris Chestnut, a two-time NAACP Award winner, welcomed everyone with a smile and was eager to meet everyone he could. The level of professionalism displayed by him was exceptional.
The Indie Night Film Festival was founded by Dave Brown. Over ten years ago, he founded the festival to provide an opportunity for filmmakers to present their work to professionals.
The event also featured appearances from Terri J. Vaughn, Clifton Powell, Jill Marie Jones, Karon Joseph Riley, and J Young MDK.

Baisden and M. Denise Simmons presented Enough is Enough, Heroes from Director Roberto Sanchez, and Mixed Girl directed by Josiane “Des Grey” Desir and Produced by Yandy Smith-Parker

Upon realizing his passion for filmmaking, Brown attended Morehouse College and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree.He attributes his introduction to Hollywood to his college friend Morris Chestnut.
This festival describes itself as “the new dinner theater experience.” It gives independent film makers the opportunity to submit, possibly be selected, and showcase their short films, web series, trailers, documentaries, and feature films every week. Furthermore, Indie Night Film Festival Screening provides the aspirers with the opportunity to mix and mingle with mainstream producers, directors, writers, and actors.
The festival is to hit several markets and one of the stops being Atlanta. We look forward to more to come in the future!
