2026 Full House Campaign

Support Full Frame, Seat by Seat, Name by Name 

From now through June 30, we are asking our community to help us symbolically fill a theater by making a gift of $60 per seat. Each $60 gift to the Full House Campaign represents how much it costs to produce one festival seat.

For every new $60 donation, we will add a name—yours or someone you choose—to our Full House campaign. This is a visual tribute to the people who make Full Frame possible. Names will also be shown onscreen at the 2027 festival. 

How Does It Work? 

Step 1. Complete the form below with your name and the name of the person to whom you wish to dedicate a seat. You might choose to honor:  

• Yourself, as an enthusiastic Full Frame patron 

• A family member who sparked your love of film 

• A friend who never misses a screening 

• A teacher or mentor who opened your eyes to new stories 

• Anyone who deserves a front-row seat to Full Frame’s next act! 

Step 2. Make a $60 gift by following  this link or using the button below the form. For each new $60 gift, a name may be added to the Full House campaign.  

Step 3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to add as many names to the Full House. 

Step 3. A Full Frame team member will reach out within 7 days to confirm your gift and the name for each seat. If you choose to include the honoree’s email address, they will receive a notification that their name has been added to the Full House.
