The 2010 underground circuit is really starting to gear up already. Now it’s time to list the deadlines for the next edition of the Atlanta Underground Film Festival, which will run on Aug. 27-29, 2010.

This will be the 7th year for the Atlanta Underground and it seems to get bigger every time, having developed into a real institution in the underground film world. Actually, while AUFF just runs over one weekend, all of August can now be considered “Independent Film Month” in the city thanks to the Atlanta Festival League, which runs several fine festivals over the course of the entire month.

But, let’s just focus on the Atlanta Underground for now. Here are all the deadlines, with the earliest one coming up pretty soon:

$35 – Features
