Nashville’s Most Defiant Local Film Festival
The Defy Film Festival returns to Studio 615 this weekend for its ninth season of highlighting “bold and extraordinary work from around the world.” Host Grace Fuisz sits down with festival director Dycee Wildman to preview this year’s slate, find out why they only give out one award, and get some advice for any aspiring auteurs hoping to find their filmmaking community in Nashville. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for being our exclusive launch sponsor!
