Testimonials

We premiered our feature documentary at TFF and it was a wonderful experience. So well organized and run. The audiences were warm and truly supported indie filmmaking. It was an honor to show a film here and I hope to return again one day. Talahassee Film Festival is truly a gem on the festival circuit.

An exceptional festival with perks, several fun things to partake in, high quality venues for screenings, talented and friendly staff, as well as a welcoming community of filmmakers, film buffs, and more.

It was the first festival I've attended in person and it sets the bar pretty high.

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

Jon Anderson, Filmmaker

This festival benefits from a great and knowledgeable team. Despite it being fairly new, their programming was really good and we enjoyed all of the Q&As with some top documentary filmmakers. Definitely worth the submission fee!
