Closing out the fest will be the world premiere of Greg Swinson and Ryan Thiessen‘s intense sounding thriller Night Shift. The Christmas set horror-comedy stars genre favorites Jeremy Gardner and Graham Skipper. Highlights for this round includes opening night feature The Leech, from filmmaker and CFF alumni Eric Pennycoff ( Sadistic Intentions). As with their first wave announcement, wave two once again showcases eclectic programming dedicated to the weird, mind-bending, and indie side of genre filmmaking. The Chattanooga Film Festival returns for its ninth consecutive year this summer, June 23 through 28, in virtual form.
