Filmmakers are encouraged to intro the film and lead a Q&A following the screening.

Saint Augustine Film Festival brings in many of the filmmakers, providing air, lodging and ground transportation. Each filmmaker's selected feature gets two filmmakers badges and each short gets one. The badge provides entry to all films and parties during the filmmaker's stay.  Find out more details here: https://www.staugfilmfest.com
