Tampa Bay Motion Picture Industry Professionals' Independent Film Festival

A Film Festival screening only high-caliber independently-produced Short and Feature Films!

This festival is intended to showcase high-quality, contemporary films produced not only in the Tampa Bay FL region, but worldwide.

The festival encourages industry professionals to attend to network with up and coming filmmakers whose high-quality work has been selected for screening. Bring business cards!

The festival is now in our 4th year, held 2X a year, with the seventh event date to be held Thursday, November 17th, 2023, from Noon to 10 PM.

The festival will be attended by industry professionals, students, fans and friends, and is an excellent place to network.

If any filmmakers plan to attend, please contact the fest and let us know.

Filmmakers, please make your film submission readily available for download on FilmFreeway in an MP4 format of 2 GB or under, preferably. If we have to contact you for the download, your entry may not make it in to the festival in time to screen it.

The festival is free to filmmakers who have a film screening, and they can bring up to one guest for free.

The Festival is now screening feature film submissions.

We are NOT an online festival; however for our current 6th season, we've regrettably had to make the decision to cancel the festival's 6th Season.

Running the festival virtually is something we've resisted, as we began running the festival right at the beginning of the 2020 pandemic lockdown hysteria.

As our venue (Holiday Inn Express Oldsmar, FL)
is still undergoing extended renovations, the festival staff has decided to cancel the 6th Season of the Tampa Bay Motion Picture Industry Professionals' Independent Film Festival

Running the festival online by simply uploading the films for a time to YouTube, linking them to the festival's website along with a social media push, is an option we had discussed, but this festival is proud that it began at a time when pandemic hysteria was at its highest point, and ran straight through to emerge out of the other side, enabling a place to network for all filmmakers, fans, industry professionals and the public alike.

When our festival re emerges in its 3rd year in 2023, expect an improved live experience for all.

Every filmmaker who entered the current season will be sent a free waiver code to submit an entry at any time during the upcoming improved 7th season. Expect the unexpected.

Thank you for your continued support.
