South Carolina's Featured April Event
The 2009 Indie Grits Film Fest – Columbia – Nickelodeon Theatre

Adding Southern flavor to celluloid, The Indie Grits Film Festival brings together a series of low-budget films from South Carolina, as well as other neighboring Southern states like North Carolina and Georgia. The festival spans five days and features over 40 films. The festival director, Andy Smith, aims to give experienced and new media-makers a place "to come together and share their interest in independent media production."
