ABOUT TAMMFF
PURPOSE
Often, the work of the artists who create props, sets, costumes, and other elements of film and television production goes largely unseen and unrecognized by the general public. TAMMFF was created to shed light on the contributions of the artists who work behind the scenes to make films great, provide those artists with portfolio-building opportunities, and create a sense of community among the makers, builders, and creatives breathing life into films.
DESCRIPTION
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 Fests.
That said, 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.
