The 6th Myrtle Beach Int'l Film Festival is being held April 19 - 23, 2011 at the Carmike Cinema in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The facility is the only all digital major theater chain in the US and all films will be shown in this multi-million dollar theater. The film categories featured this year include shorts, animation, features, documentaries, music videos, and an open category that boasts "Anything Goes."
A few of this year's features include:
Angel Camouflaged
dir. R. Michael Givens
Scottie Ballantyne, a rock and roll singer, inherits a run-down bar in the salt marshes of South Carolina. In order to make Kokonuts a success, she and her brother must battle against raging motorcycle clubs, gun toting gang bangers, a devilish loan shark and a deadly neighbor hell bent on sabotaging their efforts.
I Remember
dir. Seve Schelenz
When Simon, Rich, and Eva head out on an eagerly anticipated road trip, they bring along a video camera to record their journey. What starts out as a carefree adventure slowly becomes a descent into the ominous as unexplained events threaten to disrupt the balance between the three close friends. Each one of them must struggle with personal demons and paranoia as friendships are tested and gruesome realities are revealed...and recorded.
The Grover Complex
dir. Karen Bullis
Grover, an 18 year old boy struggling with one of life’s great questions, “Does size matter”, goes on a journey of self-discovery as he attempts to woo the girl of his fancy. Funny and entertaining, this coming of age comedy is about over-coming your insecurities and finding out just how big your heart really is.
The MBIIF gives visitors a chance to experience a truely independent film festival as well as the local culture around Myrtle Beach.
Tickets to the films can be purchased at the box office, ordered through the website, or through an all access pass that allows for unlimited viewing of all films.
