Support the Stony Brook Film Festival

The Stony Brook Film Festival is independently funded through philanthropic support from corporate, government, and individual partners. Our donors are the reason for our continued success and great impact on the film industry and the community far and wide.

Sponsor support helps us host over 60 independent filmmakers from across the globe each year to premiere their work on our big screen and share a behind-the-scenes conversation on stage with the audience. We are able to provide airfare and hotels for directors, producers, actors, etc., offer personal ground transportation, plus dinners and parties with the help of our hospitality partners.

The Stony Brook Film Festival offers four levels of corporate sponsorship opportunities, which we customize to meet corporate goals. Each sponsor can create a unique experience to ensure maximum exposure achieved through brand awareness and visibility, cross-promotional marketing, and access to special VIP events.
