Metrowest Student Film Festival

Launched by TCAN in 2018, the MetroWest Student Film Festival helps develop the talents and creativity of the region’s youth by promoting the work of young filmmakers and production teams who explore and create stories through motion pictures.

Overview

The MetroWest Student Film Festival is dedicated to showcasing the talents and creativity of the region’s youth by providing an opportunity for young filmmakers and production teams to explore and create stories through motion pictures.

Finalists among these student-created films will be shared with friends, families and the community in TCAN’s state-of-the-art screening room.

We envision the MWSFF as the largest student film festival of its kind in the region. Being part of this festival provides entrants the opportunity to:

  • Share films with the regional community
  • Screen films in an independent, state-of-the-art cinema
  • Network with a jury of judges from the industry, and other filmmakers in the region
  • Attend the festival premiere showcase
