ATL Plus Magazine had the privilege of providing media coverage for the highly-anticipated Indie Night Film Festival, held in Atlanta on June 11 at the Plaza Atlanta Theatre. This unique event, founded by Dave Brown over a decade ago, aims to give filmmakers the opportunity to showcase their work in front of industry professionals.

Dave Brown, a graduate of Morehouse College with a Bachelor of Arts degree, has always had a passion for filmmaking. His love for the craft led him to establish the Indie Night Film Festival, creating a platform for filmmakers to gain recognition and exposure. Through his friendship with Morris Chestnut, the festival received an even greater boost, as Chestnut's involvement as a co-host added to the anticipation and excitement surrounding the event.

The Indie Night Film Festival is known for its commitment to diversity in film. It provides a space for both established and emerging filmmakers to showcase their work, including short films, web series, trailers, documentaries, monologues, and full feature films. This inclusive approach has helped elevate talented artists and highlight the importance of diverse voices in the industry.

The inaugural premiere of the festival took place on June 11, 2023, at the Plaza Theatre in Atlanta. The event was open to all, and Brown encouraged creatives of all experience levels to submit their projects for consideration. The festival showcased a wide range of talent, fostering an environment of creativity and collaboration.

Dave Brown's dedication to supporting indie creators and providing a platform for underrepresented artists is commendable. His vision and commitment to uplifting others in the entertainment industry have made the Indie Night Film Festival a significant platform for emerging talent. Brown's strong connections within the industry, including influential figures like casting director Robi Reed, actor Jamie Foxx, and producer Datari Turner, have further solidified the festival's reputation and garnered support from established professionals.

ATL Plus Magazine is thrilled to have had the opportunity to cover the Indie Night Film Festival in Atlanta.
