​Everything Holiday Film Festival
Welcome to Everything Holiday Film Festival! We are a holiday film festival and screenplay contest. Our passion is showcasing the best stories of the season, whether you're a seasoned professional or a newbie. We want to hear from you – all mediums are welcome!
​
Our festival takes place in Panama City Beach, which is renowned for its stunning beaches. We're excited that the Beach Front Hampton Inn is hosting the Everything Holiday Festival this season!!
In addition to film screenings and Q&As, we will host daily panels, live events and mixers that will provide you with a wealth of information and valuable networking opportunities.
From the scary to the sweet, faith-based, patriotic and even made-up holidays - we can't wait to hear from you!
​
We believe in spreading joy, cheer and chills throughout the year, and we have created a unique festival that does just that. Our holiday film festival and screenplay contest bring together the best holiday-themed works of film, photography, music and comedy from around the world.
​
To celebrate our event's location in Sunny Florida, you'll find we've included opportunities for projects about and/or filmed in Florida.
