North Carolina Film Events List by Camden WattsEach month I some of the film-related events happening in the area. I like to know what’s happening and I enjoy sharing that info with you fine folks. It’s just one small part of this vision to have a stronger, more united film community in this area — something that makes me totally happy. Most of the events I post are free but this month there are some that have a cost associated with attending. I’ve added a symbol ($) so you’ll easily spot ’em.
