SOFO TV™ is SOWAL Foundation’s public programming channel, where we premiere and archive original work produced for audiences across the Suncoast region, including Florida communities and the broader chapter footprint.
We believe filmmakers need more than resources to create. They need a real platform to screen and air what they’ve made. SOFO TV™ exists to close that loop: funding, community, and a reliable place for premieres and public viewing.
WHAT WE PUBLISH
SOFO TV™ features SOFO-produced and SOFO-presented programming, including:
-
original documentaries and short-form films
-
recorded talks, filmmaker Q&As, and cultural programming
-
festival and event programming produced by SOFO and its related entities
