Born from a shared love of film, creativity, and community, our festival is a grassroots celebration of storytelling in all its forms. In this first year, we’re thrilled to welcome filmmakers and audiences to our small North Carolina town to connect through the power of cinema. With a team of dedicated volunteers, we’re here to uplift emerging voices and create space for meaningful artistic exchange.

The PAC Educational Theatre is open to Students (5 and up) and Adults, regardless of their level of experience. PAC Educational Theatre strives to keep student fees low in order to serve as much of the Western North Carolina community as possible. Which means we need your help. Every dollar of your donation goes directly to help our students have the most professional training and production experience anywhere. Training in the Theatre Arts allows students to not only develop their skills as a Performer, but also develops life skills, teamwork, and dedication that extends far beyond simply "Putting on a Show".
