The United Film Festivals are a series of film festivals created by Jason Connell. The festival's focus is to bring together talented filmmakers from diverse backgrounds, thus creating a "United" showcase of creative energy and talent. It is a film festival for people from all backgrounds and tastes, a place where art and community converge.
A Tulsa native filmmaker, Jason Connell and his production company Connell Creations founded Tulsa United Film Festival in 2002. Now living in Hollywood, Connell has expanded the United Film Festivals into Los Angeles & New York in 2007 and has added festivals in San Francisco, Chicago & London in 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words united, film and/or festivals:
“It is said that the British Empire is very large and respectable, and that the United States are a first-rate power. We do not believe that a tide rises and falls behind every man which can float the British Empire like a chip, if he should ever harbor it in his mind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A film is a petrified fountain of thought.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
