The San Francisco Frozen Film Festival was founded in 2006 to provide a forum for Bay Area Filmmakers to mingle and be exposed to Non-Bay Area Filmmakers, with the intention of creating a lasting and sustainable Bay Area Film Network that will continue to support and have a place to exhibit films made by people without an overflowing Rolodex and 3-picture deal. Our mission is clear: San Francisco's Film Community, although they may mingle in L.A., New York, and Overseas, is based in San Francisco. To achieve this, we are focusing on elements native to San Francisco: the amazing animation community, and the avante-artist (hence our locale in the Mission District). With the decline in price of equipment, anybody can make a film- but we still believe that until a film gets seen on the big screen, it hasn't been born yet. Our intention is to give birth to Bay Area Film babies, and have little Bay Area Film Babies and Non-Bay Area Film Babies mixing with that famous diversity and geo-politick that San Francisco embodies more than any other city in the world."
