Central Florida Film Festival - Finalist for Best Student Film

Q: What is CENFLO's Selection Process?

A: Each film is initially screened by five members of our twenty-five member selection committee. Scores are determined by a 10 Category selection process each with a 1-10 scale (Poor to Top Quality). Categories include; Script, Production Value, Direction, Performance, Camera Work, Editing, Sound, Music, Lighting, Continuity & Detail. The best score a film can receive is a 500 and the worst is 0 (neither which has ever been achieved). Our standard practice has been a score of 400+ receives an invitation and a score of 360 and below receive a rejection letter. Other scores falling between this range are 'on the bubble' and still in consideration to be invited to the festival.

Q: How Are Winners and Finalists Decided?

A: After a film receives it's qualifying score it moves into the second stage of judging. Five additional judges score 1 to 10 in ten different categories. This score is added to the film's original score. The top 8-10 films in each category moves on to the finals. Five more judges view and score the films in each category. The highest and lowest score from each round is dropped and the top score in each category is our CENFLO Winner. A winner and four finalists are announced at our Awards Show which is presented on Sunday night followed by a wrap party.
