Twenty Twenty-FOUR brought many delightful surprises to our FOURTH festival! We had a lot more interest and entries than we thought we would thanks to our partners and sponsors, not to mention our amazing internal team. We have learned so much in our first four years and have been able to apply that to our planning for YH4, happening on 10/29/2025 at Troy University in Troy, Alabama - and, of course, online!
ICYMI: The YellowHammer Film Festival is a free and enriching interactive experience for high school and college students which consists of workshops, presentations, a keynote speaker, a student film exhibition, and an awards ceremony. Anyone can attend the day-long festival free of charge, but only students can compete in the exhibition!
We genuinely look forward to hosting this important festival of arts and film for the State of Alabama and we hope that the YellowHammer Film Festival becomes a staple in the community and lives of those students, educators, and filmmakers who participate.
Thank you for being a part of this festival and we look forward to seeing you all at the fest on October 29th, 2024!
Sincerely,
Chris Stagl and Nate Hobbs
