Dreamweaver Film Festival
January 18, 2025
The Dreamweaver Film Festival is an annual film festival with a goal to educate and elevate Idaho filmmakers in any stage of their journey, to provide the valuable knowledge of an on-set filmmaking experience from script through post-production, and to provide Idaho filmmakers with tools and experience to take their careers to the next level.
Our 4th Dreamweaver Film Festival invited amateur and professional filmmakers from the Treasure Valley and beyond to premier their short films (15 minutes and under) in a variety of genres under the theme: "MAGIC". All films are rated G to PG-13

The Dreamweaver Collective at JUMP
The Dreamweaver Collective is JUMP’s film production initiative to engage people in our community interested in the different elements of film production. The Dreamweaver Collective is a series of workshops designed to explore a particular element of film production including screenwriting, filmmaking, production design, postproduction, directing and broadcasting.
