SCREENING FRIDAY AUGUST 8, 2025 AT 9:00 PM
These Georgia-made shorts are grounded in place but reach far beyond. Set on ranches, in suburbs, bank vaults, and outer space, the stories explore grief, memory, strange encounters, and unraveling realities. From time loops and missing children to mockumentary oddities and rural tragedies, this block captures the many versions of what “home” can mean and how hard it is to hold onto.
