Testimonials

Our experience with the 2021 Tallahassee Film Festival was second to none! Chris, Jennifer, and everyone else were incredibly hospitable, communicative, and just all-around nice people (who clearly love movies). This has definitely been the best film festival I’ve ever entered, and they have the most welcoming, wonderful people involved.

Jake Brown, Filmmaker

Big thanks to Tallahassee Film Festival for showcasing our work! Very friendly and helpful, and though we couldn't attend, we're excited to do so in the future.

Ty Clancey, Filmmaker

Great festival! Was awesome to be able to screen my short film, The Itch, in the town that educated [me] and in the building where I saw so many films while in college. They love movies and movie makers. They treat you right!

Tim Driscoll, Filmmaker

TFF is a great, intimate festival with a diverse audience. It is everything a film festival should be.

Jon Anderson, Filmmaker

Although I couldn’t make it to the festival because of crazy work schedule, I enjoyed the way this festival supports independent films and encourages Cinema as art rather than nonsense agenda which is very common among festivals these days.
