Objective

The Cary Theater is pleased to present BEYOND: The Cary Film Festival, a celebration of the many facets of the art of storytelling through film. BEYOND: The Film Festival will highlight all aspects of filmmaking, featuring a short film competition and screenplay writing competition (length – 30 minutes or less). Each year, the festival will explore some of the behind-the-scenes aspects of the filmmaking process. This year, the festival does not have a theme, but is open to all genres. The screenwriting competition, also for short films, will explore the foundational aspect of filmmaking – the script. A focus of this four-day event is to bring the community together to experience the best films they’ve never seen. Screenplays must have been completed after January 1, 2018. Show More
