TAMMFF

The Art of Movie Making Film Festival, affectionately known as the TAMMIES, is not your typical film fest. This Fest focuses on the artists who create the props, sets, costumes, special effects, and other behind-the-scenes elements of film and television production and is a celebration of the creative and technical work that goes into bringing stories to life on screen. These are the unsung heroes of movie magic who are not usually granted categories in Film Fest.

That said, our festival features a small con where attendees can learn more about the tools, techniques, and technologies used by these artists and perhaps even try their hand at creating some of these elements themselves. Overall, our festival provides a unique opportunity for filmmakers, fans, and industry professionals to come together and appreciate the art and craftsmanship that goes into creating memorable and immersive film and television experiences. Our goal is not only to celebrate these talented artists but also give them an opportunity to gain credibility for their portfolio and get connected to studios and production companies that hire these types of artists and makers for their feature length films.

Our 2nd Annual in-person event will take place at the CNY Community Arts Center conveniently located in Central New York between Oswego and Syracuse on Friday June 9th and Saturday June 10th. Day 1 of the live event there will be live screenings including in-house popcorn and flavored popcorn donated by the famous - Nav's popcorn! The second day of the live event features food, fun, a costume contest, and vendor booths! If you sell your art in addition to making it for movies, join us for an exciting day of celebrating arts and giving demos.
