🎥 So…what exactly is Southern Circuit?

Think of it as a film festival experience coming directly to Lancaster.

Southern Circuit connects audiences with independent films and with the filmmakers who create them.

You don't simply watch the film. You experience the story together. You meet the filmmaker. You ask questions. You hear what happened behind the camera. And you leave talking about what you just saw.

Our first screening is September 24.

🎬 Next up: Meet Minnie Evans.
