Shop ASHEVILLE FILM FESTIVAL MERCH
Scholars maintain that the word, “Merch” means what a whale buys at a rock concert. Order your Asheville Film Festival merch now, and show up to the film screenings (and rock concerts) in style! Scholars also believe that the shirt in this color will sell out at 1 Million prints. But, after that, who knows? 100% of all profits from merch & tickets sales goes directly to Asheville Film Festival, a federal 501(c)(3) non-profit.
