Atlanta/Georgia Film Premiere: Out There: A National Parks Story

Come join us for a unique September Atlanta Outdoor Club social event! It will feature the 75-minute Atlanta/Georgia premiere of the film "Out There: A National Parks Story." It was produced by rising young documentary filmmaker Brendan Hall and he will be at the theatre to talk about the film after the showing. (How cool is that!?) This nationally acclaimed documentary covers Brendan’s exciting seven-year, 10,000-mile road trip across a number of U.S. National Parks. The film will be presented at the Marietta Performing Arts Center. 

Film Premise: What begins as a summer road trip becomes an odyssey, capturing untold stories of those who protect, visit, and find healing in the parks. Through intimate interviews, breathtaking cinematography, and a profound original music score, "Out There" uncovers a deeply human portrait of the parks - revealing them as places of reflection, resilience, and connection across generations and cultures. A stunning visual tribute and grassroots love letter, "Out There" reimagines what it means to find belonging in the natural world, and the power of public lands to bring us back to ourselves.

Brendan will introduce his documentary before the film starts and then answer questions about it during a Q & A session at the end of the showing.
