Hi all,

I'm an actor, writer, and storyboard artist who recently moved to Atlanta. I'd like to get involved in the local indie filmmakers' community here.

If anyone familiar with the Atlanta scene could lend a hand with any information to help me start networking with other local filmmakers, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance,

-Jeff
 
Ahhh...sweet Atlanta.

I moved away from there before I became interested in film so I can't really help you out with the indie film community. I can't imagine there isn't one though since the city has a roboust art community.

I did spend eight years there so I have some other suggestions. There are plenty of small theaters located around the city but the one I liked the most was Dad's Garage. Very small and cozy. When I was in college I took an improve class with my roommate there. Another good friend of mine took the same class several years later. Its a great way to meet people who are active in the theater. If nothing else you must check out there "Theater Sports" it is a "whose line is it..."esque improv show that used to be 10pm on wednesdays. Who knows if they are still at or not, but if they are its a real hoot.

All my other suggestions relate to my second passion.....FOOD!!!!!
Places you must try- for breakfast "Jave Jive" is hands down the best ever, period. Its located about a mile east of Monroe Dr on Ponce De Leon Ave. "Doc Chey's" is a great little noodle shop in the Virginia Highlands. There used to be a great place to get gillato right next door to "Doc Cheys" but I can't remeber that shops name.

OOh speaking of that area of VA Highlands, directly across from "doc Cheys" is a small strip mall. On the back side of that strip is a small movie rental place called "movies worth seeing" definatly worth the trip for any ciniphile.

Have fun in Atlanta its a great little town.
