The Atlanta Auteur Film Festival & Film Market is bringing lights, cameras, and deal-making energy to the Riverside EpiCenter on Saturday, December 6, 2025, creating a one-of-a-kind experience for filmmakers, film lovers, and creative entrepreneurs across the Southeast.
More than a festival, AAFF is a launchpad—connecting independent filmmakers with real investors, co-production partners, and distributors ready to acquire new projects. The market offers a rare chance for creators to turn passion into profit by pitching directly to industry financiers and production companies.
“We built this event for filmmakers who are ready to move their work from inspiration to greenlight,” says Dap Paxton, Executive Director of Auteur Atlanta Media. “The Film Market gives them a seat at the table—and often, their first real shot at funding.”
Festival highlights include film premieres, live workshops, and the Taurean Blacque Awards, celebrating excellence and integrity in storytelling. Proceeds benefit Young Voices United, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth through the arts.
Tickets, submissions, and partnership details are available at www.AuteurAtlanta.com.
