Spotlight is back! Hosted by AVLFilm and Venus Rising Media, this fresh new event celebrates Asheville’s growing film community with a special focus on comedy in film.
Join us on May 16th for a night of laughter and storytelling. The event kicks off with an improv comedy performance, setting the stage for a lineup of original short comedy films from local creators. After the screening, stay for an engaging filmmaker panel to share insights into their creative process, comedic influences, and the challenges of independent filmmaking.
Afterward, we invite filmmakers and film enthusiasts to join us for a networking mixer—because comedy is better when shared! Whether you're a filmmaker, cinephile, or just love a good laugh, join us for an unforgettable night of humor, storytelling and community.
Come for the laughs, stay for the connections, and leave inspired by the joy of storytelling.

Spotlight is a monthly film series hosted by AVL Film, dedicated to celebrating the art of filmmaking in Asheville. Each month, we curate a selection of short or feature-length films from emerging filmmakers that span a variety of genres, challenge norms, and push the boundaries of creative storytelling.
Hosted at Story Parlor, Spotlight is more than a screening—it’s an invitation to discover the minds behind the magic. After each film, the filmmaker takes the stage for an engaging Q&A, providing a behind-the-scenes look at their creative process, the inspiration driving their work, and the triumphs and trials of independent filmmaking.
Spotlight offers a unique space for creativity, storytelling, and connection. It’s not just a film night; it’s a dynamic platform that brings audiences and filmmakers together, sparking meaningful dialogue and fostering Asheville’s vibrant film community.
Whether you're a filmmaker, a cinephile, or simply curious, Spotlight promises an evening filled with cinematic discovery and authentic conversations. Join us each month to celebrate the transformative power of storytelling, connect with local creators, and leave inspired by the magic of film. Come for the films, stay for the stories, and be part of the conversation.
