15. Heart of the City with Artemus Jenkins

•

Aaron is joined by filmmaker, photographer, experimental ethnographer, world traveler and the winner of the ATLFILMPARTY Cycle 4, Artemus Jenkins. Artemus talks about some of his earliest film memories, gives insight into his creative journey into filmmaking and explains why he believes documentary is the most exciting genre for the future of film.


ATLFILMPARTY is an Atlanta based community event serving local filmmakers. My good friend B. Sonenreich established the event in 2021, because so many local filmmakers put their blood, sweat, and tears into Georgia's $4.4 billion film industry and can barely pay for their own incredible projects, let alone get them seen at sold out events. If you're ATL-raised or based, you are eligible to submit to ATLFILMPARTY's open call for shorts. The next call is for short documentaries. The winner receives a $500 grant and mentorship from ATLFILMPARTY sponsor: Southern Documentary Fund. The deadline for short docs is May 1st 2023 at 11:59 PM you can submit at FilmFreeway.com/atlfilmparty
