This October, LOCALS ONLY, brings you a screening of everything fun and fantastic to look at! Fall 2025 LOCALS ONLY Presents: EYE CANDY.
This recurring curated screening of short films from Georgia’s independent filmmakers with a distinct theme and focus, created entirely from submissions, is all about gore, guns, fists, and glitz! We're bringing you the most dazzling shorts for this visual feast! CHIC COSTUMES! WILD FIGHT SCENES! MIND-WARPING FX! BLOOD AND GUTS!
All selected films will screen at the event at the Tara Theatre and receive Official Selection laurels. Additionally, selected filmmakers will receive a waiver to submit their LOCALS ONLY entry to the next Atlanta Film Festival. Each selected film will receive 5 free tickets to attend the screening as well as two free tickets to the Tara Theatre ($30 value).
A Jury Award and an Audience Award will be given to the winners chosen from the screened films. Each will come with a $100 cash prize.
