This past Saturday, from 8 a.m., to almost 8 p.m, Main Street was buzzing with filmmakers from the Atlanta 48-Hour Film Project. 

Filmmakers Jayson Palmer and Chris Ethridge brought a crew of 20 (give or take) actors, screenwriters, and cameramen, to work on their entry in this annual contest. Main Street and its shops will be the backdrop for the short movie they completed for this amazing event. Antiques In Old Town  is featured in one of the major scenes.

Jayson and Chris will be screening the film at the Old Town Lilburn Center For The Arts, an extension of , on Main Street later this summer.

Thanks to Lilburn's own Richard Ferris for getting up at early and arriving on the scene at 8 AM to photograph the excitement on Main Street to share with Patch readers.

You can view more of Richard's photographs at The Little Shop Of Arts And Antiques, 96 Main Street, as his exhibit and sale continues through the end of June.
