“Get Out of Greenville” (up-and-coming talent): Gunner Willis
Celebrity Appreciation: Hoyt Richards
Greenville has had a hand in many productions and raised just as many prominent actors and actresses, but has never been truly hailed as a destination for film buffs. Reedy Reels Film Festival aims to change that by showcasing films and filmmakers from the Southeast and beyond.
“We put in a lot of hard work to make this festival a special experience for audience members and filmmakers alike,” said Mike Giordano, Director of Operations for Reedy Reels Film Festival. “This year’s festival was our highest grossing yet, and it’s thrilling to see all of that work pay off.”
