Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Cultural
Reedy Reels Film Festival is accepting film submissions for its 2027 festival, which runs April 1-4 at the South Carolina Children's Theatre in Greenville. Submissions close November 30, and a promo code offers 25% off entry fees.
Why it matters
The festival is aimed at promoting appreciation of filmmaking and supporting independent filmmakers, particularly across the Upstate region of South Carolina. Its open call gives local and regional creators a defined window to enter.
Submissions with promo code REEDY12FILM25 receive 25% off, and entries are accepted in six categories: Music Video, Documentary, Short Film, Creative Commercial, College Student Film, and High School Student Film. Selections are not yet announced and are expected in late February to early March.

Cultural Context
The festival's inclusion of both College Student Film and High School Student Film categories alongside professional divisions reflects a model in which youth filmmaking is integrated into the main competition rather than run separately. Its open calls for Music Video and Creative Commercial entries place short-form visual media on equal footing with documentary and narrative shorts.
Filmmakers can submit work through the online portal before the November 30 deadline, using code REEDY12FILM25 to save 25%. Audiences can buy tickets and passes through the festival's online ticketing page once the schedule is announced.
The takeaway
Filmmakers working in any of the six categories have until November 30 to enter, and the promo code makes submitting less costly. Watching the festival's late-winter announcements will show which films and schedule details are coming to Greenville in April.
What happens next
Film selections and the official schedule for the 2027 Reedy Reels Film Festival are expected in late February and early March, followed by the April 1-4 festival at the South Carolina Children's Theatre.
