Catapult Acting Studios sponsors ATLFF 50, plus leads a Creative Conference session May 1 — deepening its commitment to Atlanta's film community.

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, April 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Catapult Acting Studios (@catapultacting), Atlanta's premier acting studio for TV and film, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the 2026 Atlanta Film Festival (@atlantafilmfestival, ATLFF) — a milestone 50th annual edition of one of the Southeast's most celebrated cinematic events. The sponsorship marks Catapult's first-ever partnership with the festival and a deepening commitment to Atlanta's thriving film and entertainment community.

Since its founding in 2015, Catapult Acting Studios has been deeply committed to elevating Atlanta and the Southeast as a home for world-class acting talent. The studio believes that actors based in Georgia deserve training that matches the best in the industry — and has spent over a decade giving local talent the training, knowledge, and industry connections to compete — and win — at the highest levels. Services span on-camera acting classes, camps and workshops for youth and adults, professional audition taping, private coaching, industry consultations, headshots and the Catapult Conservatory.

"Atlanta is a world-class film market, and it deserves world-class support systems for its talent. Catapult has always been committed to raising the bar for actor training in the Southeast and continually strengthening our ever-expanding community. Aligning with the Atlanta Film Festival is a natural next step in that commitment," said Erik Lingvall, Owner and Founder of Catapult Acting Studios.

In addition to its sponsorship, Catapult will lead a 90-minute workshop at ATLFF’s popular Creative Conference titled From Vision to Action: The Catapult Method for Georgia Creatives on Friday, May 1 at 1:30 PM at the Tara Theatre. Presented by Erik Lingvall alongside creatives Olivia Healey and Mia Isaac, the session guides actors, writers, directors, and storytellers through a concrete action plan for taking control of their creative journey.

This year marks the Atlanta Film Festival's (ATLFF) landmark 50th anniversary event, marking five decades as one of the nation's longest-running and premiere celebrations of independent film and storytelling. This year's festival promises an extensive slate of marquee films, notable talent, and special presentations, further solidifying ATLFF's legacy as a cultural cornerstone in the Southeast and beyond. The film festival and 16th annual Creative Conference, which is the festival's educational programming, will take place Thursday, April 23 – Sunday, May 3, 2026 at the Plaza Theatre and Tara Theatre in Atlanta. Badge sales and scheduling information are available at atlantafilmfestival.com.
