March 20-29 marks the return of the annual Atlanta Film Festival. This year's festival is comprised with some of the most diverse, exciting, edgy, and hyped films during the ten day festival run.
Friday night, the Atlanta Film Festival will officially kick off at The Plaza Theatre with a special presentation screening of I Am Michael. Starring James Franco and Zachary Quinto, the film follows the true story of a man in a committed gay relationship who ultimately renounces his homosexuality to become a Christian pastor and marry a woman. The film's star James Franco and producer Vince Jolivette are scheduled to attend.
Although one can't go wrong in supporting the various independent film selections showcased at AFF this year, below are some of our top picks.
