The Sunscreen Film Festival is building a community of filmmakers and film lovers throughout the Tampa Bay area. Submitting, sponsoring, volunteering or just attending are some of the ways that you can help the festival grow and sustain itself.

SUBMITTING A FILM is a great starting point for any filmmaker. Accepted films will receive passes to attend all festival events, including our impressive panels and workshops. Get a chance to learn from pros like previous guests Timothy J. Sexton (co-writer of Children of Men), Steven de Souza (writer of Die Hard & 48 Hrs.) and John Jackson (casting director on Sideways).

BUYING TICKETS is something any film fan should do! Check out the films and events we have planned and choose which ones you want to attend. If you just can’t choose, we have passes available that are good for all events on a single day or the entire festival. Learn More »

VOLUNTEERING is essential to all aspects of the festival’s production, from the selection of films to assisting staff during films and presentations. Volunteers have many opportunities to help shape the event, making it a memorable experience for our filmmakers and attendees. Learn More »

SUPPORT in the form of Sponsorship and Membership is essential to the ongoing efforts of the Sunscreen Film Festival. Sponsorship is a great opportunity for businesses to interact with our audiences and create a strong awareness of their brand or product. Membership can help you stay on top of everything Sunscreen is doing year round and give you early access to special events and festival tickets. Learn More »
