Testimonials

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.

Christopher Shipe, Filmmaker

The festival organizers provided clear communication, programmed impressive selections, included a networking brunch for filmmakers, and really knew how to draw a crowd. I'm really hoping to attend this year, whether or not a project of mine is selected. TFF is great!

Nathan Sellers, Filmmaker

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.

Jeffrey Morgan, Filmmaker

Thank you TFF for having us! We received our first audience award of our festival run and were so happy some of our team could be there for the events. Hope to return someday soon and thank you for the wonderful memories.

Jon Beder, 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.
