Testimonials

Tallahassee is an excellent film festival. I live in the UK and unfortunately I was unable to attend, but I keenly followed their social media feeds. They clearly built a strong dedicated audience because they select wonderful films. It was an honour to have my short film PRACTICE selected. I highly recommend this festival.

Chucha Barber, Producer

This year was my second time at the TFF and the first having a movie show. From the hospitality and warm welcomes from all the crew and hosts to the thoughtful programming, I had an incredible time.

Spencer Hopkins, Filmmaker

TFF is one of my favorite festivals. Great programming, engaged audiences, and the perfect environment to connect with other filmmakers. Watching Lost Highway on an IMAX screen was one of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life. Chris, Jennifer, Steve and the whole crew have put together something special that I felt lucky to be a part of.
