"This was such a wonderful film festival. Amazing content and great discussions with the filmmakers. Canton truly is the "coolest little town." - Joanie Geiger, Actor
“The Peaberry Festival is an absolutely wonderful film festival. Located at a beautiful classic theater in the great city of Canton, Georgia, the festival’s staff hospitality was second to none! With multiple events in the program for community and network building, there were opportunities to meet and talk with other film makers and lovers of cinema, while enjoying the community of the city. The film blocks were well designed and we were thrilled that there was even a family friendly block to bring the kids to! To our team this is now a ‘can’t miss it’ festival!” - Nathan Rigaud, Filmmaker
“The Historic Canton Theatre is a beautiful and perfectly-sized venue and every screening was packed! Might be my favorite screening yet with a fully engaged audience and an incredible Q&A following with such intelligent questions… Can’t wait to be back." - Hudson Phillips, Filmmaker
