Testimonials

Unfortunately I didn't get to attend TFF 2019 but the line-up looked amazing! They kept us in the loop about our screening and RT our posts to promote the fest. Seems like a great group of movie lovers who appreciate edgy content that promotes new voices. Would definitely submit again.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it in person - but the virtual presence was robust and extremely easy to navigate ! Really grateful for the online component. Great communication overall. Sounds like the in person audience was a blast. Thanks for having my film !

One of my favorite regional film festivals! The programming is outstanding: for the films in competition, the programmers select excellent-quality and TRUE indie films that are not just the same films playing all of the other regional fests. Plus they showcase exciting titles fresh from Sundance, Slamdance, etc for their out-of-competition slots. (I gladly watched six features and three shorts in two days.) They are also extremely well-organized and communicative. Great after parties, Q&A sessions and a well-run awards ceremony (featuring beautiful trophies) on closing night. A relaxed and friendly atmosphere where the opportunities for networking with other filmmakers are plentiful. I greatly hope to return!

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

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.
