The Griffon International Film Festival centers on building a connection between media professionals, current independent and future filmmakers by celebrating their film making process. Within this festival the artists can discover how to better make the transition to the “next level” of filmmaking. This discovery is facilitated by exposing the filmmakers to the projects and the people that have recently made a “next level” transition.

GR.I.F.F will host professionals in the technical, marketing, research, and creative areas of the multi media and film arts industry that have recently demonstrated the successful transition from student to professionals. These guests will present their initial projects to the students and public then discuss and answer questions on how they made the transition. GR.I.F.F is a juried 2 and 1/2day event starting in the 2004-2005 academic year. The event will feature invited filmmakers, their films and master classes.
