Covey Film Festival

Through our carefully vetted documentaries that address current issues: environmental, conservation, refugees, families and films representing different cultures abroad, etc., We educate audiences. We entertain by offering films that make us laugh, cry, get angry and have fun! We see how actors employ their craft and discuss what makes their performance entertaining. When possible we bring professional actors to our community to discuss their experiences in the film industry. We engage our audiences by presenting films of any genre that provide an opportunity for audience members to learn, discuss and address an issue that a field addresses. We bring in guests who are experts in the subject of films to share their knowledge and experience.Finally, Covey Film Festival is the signature fund-raising event for the Thomasville Community Resource Center (TCRC) which serves underserved children and families in four counties: Brooks, Grady, Thomas and Mitchell. Programs include: a preschool for two, three and four-year-olds to teach content that is consistent with child development best practices and help identify early learning problems; after school academic enrichment services led by certified teachers; parental engagement programs and parent/child programs where TCRC staff go into homes and work with children and parents on early literacy.
