What is the 54 Film Fest?


Create. Collaborate. Compete. Cultivate!


These are the core elements that make the 54 Film Fest an exciting opportunity for every filmmaker, from the student to the seasoned professional. It is designed to give filmmakers the chance to prove their abilities under pressure, all the while forming a greater connection to the Middle Tennessee film community and beyond.

54 Film Fest is a timed film competition where participating teams take on the challenge of creating a short film all the way from conception to completion within 54 hours (or 5 + 4 Days). Each film is then judged by industry professionals and featured at the 54 Film Fest Premiere Screening. The film teams are also recognized at the Celebration of All Filmmakers and Awards.

If you have ever wanted to make a film, this is the perfect chance to start. If you are a student, either elementary, middle school, high school or college, your entrance fee is FREE.
