Yule Film Fest is a non-profit, holiday-inspired film festival that connects less represented film communities and cinephiles every December. Please consider donating a tax-deductible pledge of support for our 2025 event

Any amount is generously appreciated!

We are beyond excited, after several months of planning, to announce that we have partnered with Filmmakers Collaborative in making Yule Film Fest an official tax-deductible, non-profit event! Yule Film Fest prides itself on being an affordable film festival for filmmakers and attendees. We pride ourselves on not charging nominees to attend the collective of their works. And we pride ourselves on finding the connection point between local, lesser represented communities and the Hollywood-experienced realm of short films.

The economy isn't peachy. But we appreciate any consideration to submit a tax-deductible donation to Yule Film Fest so it can continue to grow and connect:

Yule Film Fest is a holiday-inspired film festival in it's 6th year, tentatively taking place at Sea Tea Improv Theater (Hartford, CT). Yule Film Fest seeks to bring soft humor, dark humor, and a variety of other emotions to screen as it prides it...
