It..s midnight..do you know where your film is?

The brainchild of Atlanta filmmaker Marian Wagner, the Hwy 5 Film Festival..held February 17 and 24 in Marietta..was originally intended as a simple one-day event where Wagner and a handful of others would get the opportunity to showcase their work. But once the call went out and the submissions came pouring in, the screening list had grown to 20 films. To accommodate them all, Wagner expanded the festival to a second day of showings.
Hosted by El Cine Mireles as a part of their Midnight Indies series, Hwy 5 was MCed by local filmmaker Barry King . Students from the Art Institute of Atlanta filmed the proceedings for a documentary project.
