Support Film Athens - help us build a library of film screening and filmmaking equipment!!


The equipment will be used to:
- educate aspiring filmmakers
- foster independent film making in the community
- provide resources for filmmakers interested in promoting the Athens area and the arts
- host outdoor and special location screenings
- see below for more info on our first project Lights, Camera, Athens!

The first project we are supporting is a short documentary called "Lights, Camera, Athens!"  This film will explore the current status of the local film industry in the Athens Georgia area. Showcasing interviews with a wide range of filmmakers and those involved in local film, the documentary will provide insight in how the industry can progress for years to come.


Connor is an aspiring film Director/Producer who is currently attending high school in the Athens area. His yearlong internship with Film Athens is an opportunity for him to advance his filmmaking skills, learn from experienced filmmakers and gain “hands on” experience in all aspects of film production.

Our goal is to help support Connor’s film by providing sound recording equipment and editing software. After Connor’s project is complete these resources will continue to use this equipment to give inexpensive and accessible support to the community.







We ask that you please consider donating equipment or funds to this campaign!
