ROAD ST. FILM FEST

The Broad St. Film Fest is a gathering of storytellers and audiences seeking new adventures, experiences, and perspectives.

The Broad St. Film Fest is a gathering of storytellers and audiences seeking new adventures, experiences, and perspectives. Nightmare on Broad St. is our sub film festival that is focused on horror, sci-fi, and out of the norm genres. Our program ranges from high school, college, and professional submissions. Awarding the hard work and dedication of our film community we will be awarding two monetary awards. One for best student film and one for best overall film by a non-professional. This festival is free admission and will contain a showing of all the nominated films in each of the categories. The BSFF Team created this festival in efforts to help the City of Sugar Hill continue transforming into a hub for art, culture and entertainment.
