Celebrating emerging filmmakers through festival screenings and hands-on workshops
The Point Roberts Film Festival is a celebration of cinematic storytelling, showcasing the work of emerging filmmakers from our community and beyond. Our mission is to foster creativity and provide a platform for new voices in film.
This year's festival will feature special screenings of student films created during our workshop series, along with curated selections from independent filmmakers worldwide.
Our hands-on workshops are designed to help aspiring filmmakers develop their skills and create work to be showcased at the festival.
Learn the fundamentals of camera operation, lighting, and composition from industry professionals.
Discover the art of storytelling through editing using DaVinci Resolve.
Ai represents a quantum shift where we are only limited by our imaginations. Learn how to use the latest models to generate images, videos, and build workflow integrations to maximize productivity.
We can use this time to receive hands on help with your project, give and recieve feedback and critique your submissions before the festival..

Workshop Participant
"Craig Ellenwood is like the wizard of creativity, summoning the magic of connection and inspiration at PRIFF. This workshop and festival? Oh, it’s not just an event—it’s a portal to a world where your creative spirit gets a turbocharged upgrade. Imagine leaving with more than just ideas—you’ll walk away with a full-blown strategy, a tribe of collaborators, and enough energy to light up a small city. PRIFF isn’t just something you attend—it’s something you become. And trust me, once you’ve been PRIFF’d, there’s no going back to ordinary.”>
