Tulsa American Film Festival serves the Tulsa community and surrounding area through the world of film by offering programs of American-made feature length and short films supplemented by industry driven panels and discussions.
Tulsa American Film Festival (TAFF) launched in October of 2015, bringing a well rounded, world class industry film event to Tulsa. Now in our third year, TAFF showcases independent feature & short films from across the U.S. over five days. With a commitment to highlighting diverse American stories and voices, TAFF offers an unmatched opportunity to introduce a curated and competition-based selection of film to the region.
TAFF is looking for American made independent feature and short films of all genres. We are particularly interested in seeing American Indian films, Latino American films, African American films, disability films, independently produced episodes of a television or web series, horror films, Oklahoma student short films and films written, directed, produced by Oklahomans or featuring Oklahoma actors, but do NOT limit our selections to these categories. We also accept Feature and Short screenplays for competition. Short screenplays will be read live with local actors.
