To attend any festival-related event, you will need to purchase a pass. Depending on how you want to fest, you will have the option to choose which pass is best for you. For those looking to enjoy additional perks and discounts while attending a few screenings, consider our Fork & Screen pass. If you want to get the MOST of the festival, we recommend the Golden Isles Experience pass, allowing access to all screenings, events and networking opportunities with the filmmakers in attendance. Stay tuned for when we release our 2025 passes! Consider joining our monthly newsletters here to be one of the first to know when passes/tickets go on sale.

When available, visit our Passes page here, then select the desired pass. You have the option to build your experience by choosing what screenings/events and perks you desire.

From there, you will be directed to create an account with us (You’ll only need to do this one time for life). After you complete the necessary payment, you’ll then tell us what name you’d prefer to have printed on your badge (i.e. Edward or “Eddy”). You’re all set!

When the festival schedule goes live, you’ll have access to then select the screenings/events that you want to see (screening visits vary on pass level). Don’t worry! We’ll let you know when this becomes available.
