Films will be screened via Eventive, except for Love Type D which will screen in person at The Wharf's Sunset Cinema. Each film will be available for a limited time to watch, and upon starting one you'll have 24 hours to finish it. Some movies are only available for streaming exclusively in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, so be sure to check the fine print on the description before buying your ticket.

Tickets cost $9 per film, but those who like seeing a lot of movies can spring for a bundle deal with the Director's Package. You get 10 films for only $70, and considering the full retail value is $90, this is a great opportunity to save some cash!

It's not every day you can attend a film festival in your PJs, so why not embrace it? Add in a blanket fort and microwave popcorn, and you've got yourself a movie night! You can reserve your tickets here. You can also follow the festival on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
