The 1st Annual Telemark Film Festival
The Details
THE STORY
Taking note from prolific annual action sports film festivals such as IF3, the 25' TFT aims to provide telemark athletes, filmers, editors, and creators a space to showcase their work while growing the breath of media and contributors in the telemark community.
With cash prizes, participants are motivated to create their project at the highest quality. Additionally, the 25' TFT will provide a lower barrier to entry for film submissions, providing telemark enthusiasts the ability to begin their film production journey. Ultimately, the long term goal is for submittees to begin to submit films into larger festivals, such as IF3, thereby creating more exposure for themselves, telemark, and its supporting industry.
