Dusk in Bloom was the perfect way to close out our Friday night. Live music from the Groove Skeletons, good people, cold drinks, plenty of laughs, and a whole lot of festival energy.

A special shoutout to Special Treasures for creating an amazing lounge space where guests could kick back, relax, and enjoy the night.

Here’s a look at Dusk in Bloom.

Some of the best Full Bloom moments happen between the screenings. 🎬

Yesterday, filmmakers from near and far came together for Filmmaker Connections to share stories, make connections, and celebrate the people behind the films.

We’re pretty lucky to have this group of talented storytellers in Statesville this weekend. ♥️

Thank you to The 220 Cafe for catering and The Statesville Historical Collection for hosting our filmmakers.
