North Florida: America's First Hollywood
Did you know that before Hollywood, Jacksonville was the film capital of America? Though the film industry has traded Florida swamps for Hollywood hills, the legacy of filmmaking is alive and well in the River City. Jax Fuse Film's vision is to catalyze the creative economy through storytelling, innovation, and collaboration — elevating filmmakers, students, educators, and entrepreneurs in a shared space for inspiration and impact.
Last year we screened 8 short films in categories like horror, drama, comedy, musical and more. This year, with input from our expert committee, we are bringing short film screenings, an inspiring keynote speaker, networking, workshops and opportunities for local schools.
