Not suggesting you can’t have a great time watching films that you can catch at a convenient local movie theater, because we always like an escape, which most movies provide. The point here is, why not try to widen up your selections, for such escapist fair.
A host of neighbors to Abberly Green offer such a variety, with a slew of upcoming film festivals. Most of these festivals aren’t around the corner, so why not make a weekend trip out of it? Reserve a room in one of the cities, and enjoy an entire weekend of movie watching, along with hanging out at a host of local haunts in each respective city.
Your escapist palate will be broadened, and you’ll have gotten a great weekend trip out of it. We’ve listed a few of the festivals below as provided by NC Film.com, but head here for a more complete list.
