We are excited to present Highbridge Film Festival 2024 in the Historic Hughes Auditorium on the campus of Asbury University.

The Highbridge Film Festival began nearly two decades ago as a vehicle for Asbury University’s School of Communication Arts to showcase student films and encourage visual storytelling. Each year the festival selects about a dozen student films and provides a venue for special presentations from Communication Arts and a panel of judges drawn from the film and television industry. The film festival is entirely produced and promoted through the combined efforts of the School of Communication Arts’ Special Events class and student volunteers. 2024 marks the 20th edition of the festival, which has grown into a nationally recognized collegiate film festival delighting audiences and attracting wide-ranging interest from the film industry.

Film Submissions

The festival accepts films from Asbury University undergraduate and graduate students. High School filmmakers from the surrounding region are welcome to submit their films. Instructions can be found on our website submission page.
