I know we had several people from the forum there last year. I'll be there the last couple of days with four shorts I did music for, plus a 'Best Composition' nomination for a piece I did for a film that isn't finished yet. Here's my screening times. Come say hi if you're there!

Reue (WWII drama nominated for Best War Piece, Best Period Piece & Best Costumes - Short) - Thursday, 7/28 8pm screen 6
Eggsistential Issues (silent comedy/horror) - Friday, 7/29 2pm screen 4
A Taste of Love (hilarious horror comedy nominated for Best Song & Best Composition) – Friday, 7/29 8pm screen 6
Love Sick (comedy) – Friday, 7/29 8:45pm screen 4

I've also seen on the forum:

DavidBeier's The Silver Baron - Saturday the 23rd at 4pm on screen 6
ToTheBack's Suburban Standoff - Saturday the 30th at 1pm on screen 3

Anyone else?
 
As mentioned, I'll be going :). I'm also tempted to attend the award show dinner on July 30th but the price ($150) seems pretty steep, especially since they never announced nominees and the like. I wasn't sure if anyone here had gone to that before
 
I know Kely McClung has a script nominated for awards but I didn't ask if he's going or not (he's won several awards there in the past with 2 previous films)

I know another local ATL filmmaker (Michael Harper) who has a short going there:
Take Me Out
7/25/11 6pm Block Academy 6

He's not on the board here. The movie has a couple good actors that I've worked with several times here in Atlanta, so it should be worth a look.

I heard my friend Kely McClung won Best Script and my friend Michael got a runner-up mention from Best Short with his Take Me Out...so congrats to them. ATL representing at AOF!

Sorry I missed you, ToTheBack! They rescheduled you and then didn't even have schedules available for us to use to find films. Pretty bizarre. :(

Martay, I also won Best Song and Troy Ruff won Best Short. Might be some other award-winning dvxusers.

Yeah, I got an email about the reschedules while I was on the plane flying over. My movie was meant to premiere on Saturday the 30th at 1pm but they moved all Saturday screenings to Friday so mine premiered at midnight on Friday. I found that out a few hours before showtime so I tried like hell to get people there. There were about 20 people in there though I think most were there because of Dahmer vs Gacy. What really surprised me was that apparently, my movie also played on the 23rd in a block with other movies and I was never told of it and that's the listing in the program for mine. I guess it's cool that it played twice but weird in that I was never told of the mysterious first one
