MOTION Mission Statement: MOTION is a movement of investment into a community of inspiration.

The history of the MOTION Film Festival began with the idea of CANVAS, an art premiere. Over its last five installments, CANVAS has been recognized as “one of the biggest and best known independent art series in Central Florida” (Scott Harrell, REAX).

With the success of CANVAS and its open-armed welcome into the art community of Tampa, we began our plans of investment into the medium of filmmaking by launching MOTION. Our idea was born out of a desire to provide a springboard for both the artist and the craft. It is our hope that the art community of the greater Tampa Bay area will continue to prosper from these efforts.

Together we set in MOTION our dreams, inspirations and creativity so that you might set in MOTION yours.

Bobby Triplett
Festival Director
