Who: The Brunswick News
When: October 4, 2024
What: According to traditional road maps, the trip from the Golden Isles to the golden glow of Hollywood will take more than 36 hours and approximately 2,487 miles.

This opportunity comes in the form of the inaugural Golden Isles Film Festival. Being held Oct. 11 and 12 at various locations throughout downtown Brunswick, the festival is “an incubator,” for area silver screen savants, said Pryce May, an organizer and representative of the Golden Isles Film Society, the nonprofit, grassroots organization that created the inaugural event.
