Celebrating 10 years, Reedy Reels Film Festival showcases region's independent filmmaking
A celebration of regional and local independent filmmakers returns to Greenville's West End with the 10-year anniversary of the 2025 Reedy Reels Film Festival. The South Carolina Children's Theatre will host the three-day festival March 28-30 that showcases independently produced films and features artist workshops, an opening night VIP party, and genre-based awards for 30-plus motion pictures. The theatre is located at 153 Augusta St. 'These creators pour their heart, soul, and finances into bringing their artistic visions to life," said Matt Foster, co-founder of Reedy Reels. "Our festival engages the community and creates exposure for local and student filmmakers, providing them with a platform they would not otherwise have.' This year's festival will include films from Richard Rossi and Frank Sanza. Rossi's movie titled "Lucy & the Lake Monster" was co-written alongside retired Greenville teacher Kelly Tabor. Sanza is best known for his film, The Short Game, produced by his Delaware-based Slingshot17 Productions. Reedy Reels Film Festival will also feature South Carolina-based filmmakers Destiny Macon, Yasmin J. Lee, Clemson professor David Donar, Joy Stamp, and Nathan Maze, among others. "For 10 years, you, the incredible Greenville community, have embraced the magic of independent cinema, turning Reedy Reels into a vibrant platform for storytelling and artistic expression," Foster added.
