SHELLI HALL
Director
Tucson Film Office
shall@visittucson.org
520.770.2151
Originally from Madison, Wisconsin, Shelli graduated from the University of Arizona with a B.A. in English Lit. She began her career in Tucson as a P.A. on commercials, progressed to producing her own documentaries and, later, was paid to produce hundreds of hours of community event programming (with literally no budget) for public television.
She segued into Corporate Communications and marketing for a tech company in San Diego for 5 years and later moved to Los Angeles to work freelance in the independent film industry. While there, she wore many caps – Development Assistant, Production Assistant, Executive Assistant, Trailer Producer and Casting Director. It was never boring.
She moved back to Tucson to make Sundance award-winning films, but the Tucson Film Office director's job opened up, and the rest is history.

A screening of TROT, a short film documentary featuring Therapeutic Riding of Tucson. Directed by Anne Dalton in partnership with Evan Grae Davis for the Just Be You Project, 2016.
The IFA Documentary Workgroup is designed for people who have an interest in learning more about creating, developing, and producing documentary film. A documentary film is a nonfictional motion picture intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction, awareness or maintaining a historical record.
At monthly meetings, we talk about documentary film in greater depth, watch educational videos on producing documentary, and have group discussion. We also offer opportunities to present your own ideas or talk about active projects, and receive input from the group on feasibility, funding opportunities, editing, distribution, etc.
The IFA Documentary Workgroup also hold workshops periodically for those interested in diving deeper into the art. Thank you for your interest, support, and commitment to filmmaking in Southern Arizona

Tucson Fringe Festival

520.261.4851
Tucson Fringe and Strada Company are thrilled to announce the first annual 3-minute film festival. Why three minutes? Because new and emerging filmmakers often don't have the resources for longer pieces.
The Fringe, as you might guess, is putting special emphasis on alternative storylines, new ideas, artful concepts, and imaginative flair. Whatever you've got – HD Video, pocket camera, smart phone – if you can shoot video on it, you can enter the Three Minute of Film Festival
Each selected film will receive the Official Selection logo, a public screening and a chance to win cash prizes. How much? Depends on the number of entries and the attendance of the screening.
Prizes will be awarded in the following categories: Audience Award, Best Narrative Film, Best Art Film, Best Writing, Best Director
The public screening will occur in late fall 2016 in beautiful downtown Tucson.
