2nd Annual Slate Awards Honors Atlanta Independent Filmmakers

On Set ATL celebrates Anniversary with a night dedicated to recognizing emerging creatives in Atlanta’s vibrant film community.

ATLANTA, GA — On Set ATL is thrilled to announce the 2nd Annual Slate Awards, an evening to honor the remarkable talent of Atlanta’s independent filmmakers. This event is not only a celebration of the past year's achievements but a platform to elevate and recognize the burgeoning talent within Atlanta’s film industry, providing opportunities for creatives to shine and receive the recognition they truly deserve.

AMPLIFYING CREATIVE EXCELLENCE 

As more than just a screening event, On Set ATL is the epicenter for film creatives to converge, with a focus on connection, collaboration, and creation. These past two years have seen an impressive array of 14+ in-person gatherings, drawing over 1500+ guests and cultivating an online community that now has almost 3000 members. The events have put a spotlight on award-winning talent, from filmmakers to actors, actresses, and producers, offering unrivaled networking opportunities and increasing their visibility within the film industry.

Atlanta creatives are immensely talented, but they don’t often get recognition and the opportunity they deserve. This platform was created to build a bridge for new connections, greater exposure by creating opportunities for creatives, and bringing awareness to their immense talent, giving them the recognition they deserve.

HONORING TRAILBLAZERS

The event filmmakers will receive awards from 17 nomination categories spanning from best hair and makeup to the coveted best film award. In addition to those categories, the night will spotlight three trailblazers making significant impacts in the filmmaking arena:

• Gail Bean- Bean co-starred in the series Paradise Lost and the film Unexpected. She has also acted in Insecure, Love in the Time of Corona, Atlanta, and Detroiters. She is best known for her portrayal of Wanda Bell on Snowfall.

• Kiah Clingman – An actress and award-winning producer whose project "The Color Book" notably received $1,000,000 from Tribeca and AT&T.

• Bobby Huntley- Bobby Huntley is a director, producer, writer, and editor who began his journey as a filmmaker at the age of ten years old. Upon seeing his knack for storytelling, his teachers began to encourage him to submit short films and mini-docs instead of written assignments.

Additionally, Christine Horn, actress and career coach with a portfolio of over 15 TV shows, including “BMF” "P-Valley," "Queen Sugar," and a compelling guest star role on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy, will receive the inaugural Impact in Film Award. Horne has dedicated her career to perfecting her craft and dedicated to helping other actors become booking magnets like herself. Her influence extends beyond her work as she actively shapes the future of film and fosters a new generation of storytelling talent.
