The festival was founded in 2003 by the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council. In 2008, the Oxford Film Festival became an independent non-profit organization with 501c3 status committed to celebrating the art of independent cinema. The festival screens short and feature-length films in both showcase and competition settings, hosts panel discussions on issues in contemporary filmmaking, and invites the filmmakers to interact with the audience at a number of social events. Tannehill, Carmean & McKenzie sponsors this festival on an annual basis.

Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God’s love, for people with special needs, ages 14 and older. This is the fourth year of this worldwide movement sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation. Every attendee of Night to Shine will enter their prom on a red carpet. Once inside attendees will receive VIP treatment including hair and makeup stations, shoe shining stations, corsages and boutonnieres, a karaoke room and of course, dancing! The highlight of the night will come when every one of the Night to Shine attendees is crowned as a king or queen of the prom.
