  1. 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.

  5. 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.
