Full Sail Stories

Full Sail University is proud to celebrate its 23rd year serving as the primary sponsor of the Florida Film Festival, held from April 10-19 at the Enzian Theater in Winter Park.

“Each year we look forward to the return of the Florida Film Festival,” said Rick Ramsey, Education Director for Visual Arts at Full Sail.“ The festival encourages audiences to explore the various genres of film it provides, all while sharing free educational forums and holding a host of engaging events for the community to enjoy. Full Sail is proud to return as the primary sponsor of the Florida Film Festival, and we look forward to experiencing the incredible lineup of films and events that Enzian has thoughtfully curated.”

While this year marks 23 years as the primary sponsor, Full Sail has had a collaborative relationship with the Florida Film Festival and Enzian for nearly 30 years, centered on the importance and impact of visual arts as the festival attracts global and national talent and audiences to the region.

Several Full Sail talents will be on display during the 2026 Florida Film Festival. Hall of Fame inductee Aaron B. Koontz will act as a Narrative Features Juror. Grad and director Randy Moore’s film Return From Tomorrow will have its world premiere. And on April 15, Film Production MFA educators will host a free festival forum that is open to the public alongside colleagues from the University of Central Florida and Valencia College titled Inside the Film Pitch: Creating a Movie Deck Live.

The Florida Film Festival is an Oscar-qualifying festival that has been showcasing independent, documentary, and international cinema since 1992, and it will feature 160 films, 24 world premieres, and works from across 31 countries.
