The Orlando Urban Film Festival's (OUFF) mission is to help underserved African American content creators in film, music, art, and technology publish and perform their creative works in various public venues.

OUFF’s key objective is to help Content Creators display their works in a theatrical setting to the public on a “BIG SCREEN” in major movie theaters, or perform live on large venue stages and in our Metaverse Spaces.

 

We provide Content Creators and their works with much-needed media exposure to help advance their recognition in the entertainment marketplace as well as provide them with information and education to help gain exposure and access to sell their products in the major marketplaces. We also recognize, honor, and award the best talent, and we do not exclude entry of any creative works from other cultures globally.

 

The OUFF Young Director’s Program “Jump At The Sun” teaches young people key communication, visual, public speaking, and media arts skills. The goal is to help young people better communicate and express their feelings through the use of writing, images, audio, media, technology, and visual arts.
