The Reel Deal Film Festival supports indie and student filmmakers from all the USA and beyond, with low cost entry, and Volusia County Students are offered fee-free entry in the regular entry period! Come down to the Beach, kick back and enjoy a totally unique and modern cinema experience. PSAs, Tik Toks, Compilation Edits, and Smartphone (80% or more SHOT on handheld device) categories coexist with the Dramas, Comedies, Faith-Based and Documentary features and shorts we love. Take advantage of the setting while here, and kayak the Indian River, commune with the dolphins and river otters, try a surf lesson or have a sandwich at the oldest lunch counter in Florida. Shorts and features are screened over two days - in a warm and welcoming environment. This festival is ...The Reel Deal! We have rescheduled from Fall 2020 due to public health concerns surrounding the unknowns of the Corona Virus Pandemic resurgence. Please keep sending your films in, deadline remains August , 2020 and our judges need something to do on quarantine! Stay tuned for next details.
