2017 Winners
That’s a wrap on the 2017 Buried Alive Film Fest! We had such an amazing time with the festival this year that keeps growing and growing. Another great year at 7 Stages and it was phenomenal and our projection and sound provided by Atlanta ProAV made the entire fest! More attending filmmakers this year, a massive turnout of local filmmakers, and an undeniably amazing crowd to boot. A huge congrats to all the winners!
