In 2023, 143 films were submitted and an 11-person review panel watched all of them to get to 50 films that were shown at the South Carolina Children’s Theatre. Reedy Reels plans to expand that number to 60 this year. The portal for entering films will close on January 15, 2024.
More than 300 films have been shown over the past eight festivals ranging from shorts to student films to animated movies to full-lengthen features, and a little bit of everything in between, said Matt Foster, one of the founders of Reedy Reels. Tickets to the three-day festival sold out in advance in 2023.
“Reedy Reels has grown into one of the Upstate’s leading festivals and one of its most unique since it focuses on independent films,” Foster said. “We are always looking to create more for our audience to ensure they enjoy the festival.”
