Atlanta Film Festival prefers the personal touch

Attending a festival isn’t just seeing a film, it’s talking to the people who made it. Don’t just go to the screenings — go to the Q&As, the seminars, the parties and really soak in the festival. That’s the advice of Atlanta Film Festival Executive Director Chris Escobar. This year’s fest opens tonight.
