2021 TFF Award Winners Announced!

The Tallahassee Film Festival held its 13th annual festival this weekend with almost 50 films from around the world and the US. It was a blast to be able to finally get back together again and watch movies with fresh voices and boundary-pushing creative perspectives. The audience and our directors had some tough choices to make this awards season, but we’re excited to share these winners after last night’s awards ceremony. A big thank you to our Florida Filmmaker Award co-sponsor, Flamingo Magazine. Be on the lookout for an article about this year’s winner in their upcoming issue.

Testimonials

Tremendous festival put together by Chris and the rest of his hardworking and friendly team. Solid programing, great parties and fun networking opportunities.

Keith Marlin, Filmmaker

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.

Deva Palmier, Filmmaker

We absolutely LOVED having our clients selected here, their social media is superb meaning that each film gets a great spotlight. We were so pleased to have our clients screen there, and will continue to spread the good word. Got a film? Definitely consider submitting here!
