We are a community of artists and entrepreneurs, athletes and musicians, filmmakers and nature-lovers living and working in Tucker County, West Virginia. Our home is one of ancient mountains and storied rivers, high valleys and boom towns. There’s history here, and rejuvination. Culture. Adventure. Art. Life.
We’re getting plum tuckered just thinking about it!

We are excited to be an international film festival, a home for creative, independent short film from around the world. But...there’s no doubt – we sprouted in Tucker. One of our primary goals is to shine a spotlight on the films and filmmakers of our area. Whether you live in Tucker County or are connected to the life, adventure and culture of the area in some way, that’s what we’re looking for. We are also seeking to highlight films from the greater Appalachian region in order to showcase the depth of talent and creativity residing within these mountains.
We also welcome films from around the world. The juxtaposition of international film alongside local and regional projects is one of the strongest effects that a film festival can have on its audience. While language barriers may initially seem to accentuate our differences, well-made films have a connecting us to our shared humanity regardless of their country of origin.
In our third year Plum Tuckered will once again celebrate the art of short film. And we mean short! Films must be 20 minutes or less. Even though there are many great short films out there longer than 20 minutes, we appreciate your understanding of this rule. If your film is longer than 20 minutes, we will regretfully not be able to screen it. In this case, less is more!
This year’s film festival screenings will take place at Verglas Media in Davis, West Virginia. Dates November 2, 3 2018. More details coming soon!
