First Team

    Information regarding the 2023 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and First Team benefits will be updated this Fall.

    First Team means YOU come first! First Team members enjoy concierge service, VIP perks, and special invitations to events during the festival and year-round.

    For the safety of our audiences, filmmakers, volunteers, and staff amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 festival will be held entirely online.
