The Seminole Film Festival was founded to bring the art of film to the city of Sanford in Florida and the students of Seminole High School. It is a unique type of film festival created by filmmakers, for filmmakers. We are interested in showcasing YOU and bringing YOUR talent to an audience. SFF is the perfect opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their talents and hard work in a competition that's open to filmmakers of all ages and backgrounds, whether you have just finished creating your first film or have been in the industry for many years.

We would like to bring audiences to films that have stories that deserve to be told. Whether it's comedy, documentary, action, experimental, or any other genre (provided that it is PG-13 appropriate), we would love to consider your short film for our festival. Our festival team is dedicated to selecting the highest-quality films for screening through a comprehensive evaluation process.

This event is sponsored by Seminole High School TV Production. Our ultimate goal is to unite a diverse group of filmmakers who share an interest for visual storytelling for two days of networking, discussing, and appreciating the art of filmmaking. We invite you to come meet new people, watch films, and make connections.

If you have a question, please don't hesitate to email us. We will get back to you as soon as humanly possible. We look forward to watching your film and considering it as part of our event.
