Filmmaker Kori Feener will be on hand following the screening of “Hard Way Home.”Both Chris Dortch II and Grey Watson readily admit to having purely selfish motivations for staging this weekend’s Chattanooga Film Festival, and it is not because they wanted an excuse to watch the films on the schedule.
In fact, Dortch will have seen each of the 51 films about a half dozen times before the first opening credits roll on Thursday.
“What I get out of doing this is the conversations I’m going to get out of it,” Dortch says. “I can’t wait to talk to people about each film.”
