he documentary showcases Charleston Literary Festival’s impact, emphasizing the importance of humanities-focused events featuring speakers alongside emerging literary voices while engaging conversations with readers that inspire intergenerational learning and widen the reach of impactful authors and cultural exchanges throughout the community.

Since its inception in 2017, Charleston Literary Festival has embraced conversations around books and ideas with leading and emerging authors and the readers who follow them. The Festival is a curated boutique-sized festival whose roots began at Charleston House in the UK—home of the radical writers, artists, and thinkers of the Bloomsbury Group. With this sentiment at heart, Charleston Literary Festival is committed to maintaining an international perspective while building up and giving back to the local community on which it is built.

With the film, we aim to extend this stage to an even larger audience, preserving the unforgettable moments from our past festival and allowing viewers to see what we do. We hope to see viewers turn into attendees as they are inspired by the level of dialogue we bring.”

T.J. Wallace, Assistant Director, SC Humanities, echoes, “The documentary is an embodiment of SC Humanities’ commitment to enriching the cultural and intellectual lives of all South Carolinians. We believe that From the Bloomsbury Group to the Lowcountry, Charleston Literary Festival will draw more people to the festival’s literary programs.”

Atomic Focus Entertainment, the production partner to Charleston Literary Festival, documented this remarkable literary journey over ten days. The documentary, directed by Tom Wiggin and produced by Jenn Dumas Wiggin, embodies the frenetic energy, spontaneous connections, meaningful content, and poignant moments as the reader community and authors embraced the Festival.
