Created by ATLFF Filmmakers in Residence Jon Watts & Brantly Watts, Homespun is a curated series of short documentary films profiling unique individuals around the metro Atlanta area. This installment features three subjects who live on the outskirts of our society. Arguably one of the best local film screenings of the year, this is an event you don’t want to miss.

A Story of a Phone Call, Blondie, and Why Jon and Brantly Watts are Homespun
Kristy and I thought for a second, and while we did think a fest screening was an awesome idea, Homespun needed something to standout and to help it stand on its own. We batted around ideas of screening at The Plaza sometime in the fall, once they had the first three films done. The Plaza was a must include in the equation. It was important these films screen in the same venue AKA Blondie had. Its where that feeling of community felt strongest for all of us. If we're going to put the focus on local filmmakers and give people a chance to meet the subjects of Homespun in person, this is where the screening had to happen.
