Hollywood Florida Film Festival with Screenings at Regal Theatre
About
Joseph Young founded the city of Hollywood Florida in 1920. His dream vision was to create a place that is similar to the famous “Hollywood” in Los Angeles. Mr. Young bought thousands of acres of land and named the new town “Hollywood by the Sea.” Of course, that dream never materialized and the new film community never took hold on the east coast of Florida. Until now…
“If you build it, they will come.” We, the organizers of the Hollywood Florida Film Festival (HFFF) are passionate about cinema, and we will continue the legacy of Joseph Young’s early pioneer vision. The aim is to bring the visual arts of movies from around the globe to our beautiful community.
This is a small step towards our ultimate goal of building studios along with an infrastructure where filmmakers can thrive. As they say, “Rome wasn’t built in one day” but we are working to achieve our objective to bring the excitement of the quality films to the city “Hollywood by the Sea.”
We are the tropical Hollywood Florida Film Festival with warm beaches and amazing nightlife. Nestled twenty minutes from Miami and ten minutes from Fort Lauderdale. It's the best festival under the Florida sunshine. Known as Hollywood by the sea...
Our Mission Statement
The Hollywood Florida Film Festival is formed with an objective to unite the community of Hollywood Florida through the medium of cinema. There are compelling stories being told across the globe and we want to bring these high-quality films to our neighborhood. “Life does imitate art,” if we can inspire one individual through short stories, feature films and/or documentaries, then maybe we can help make a difference. Be a part of the movement!
