About Delta Film Festival
  Manteca, CA

Harry Mok and Dorothy Indelicato. Dorothy Indelicato is Manteca Film Commission Chairperson, and Harry Mok is Film Commission member and film industry professional.

The “Festival” began as a dream of the Manteca Film Commission that was founded in 2001.  The original reason for forming the Film Commission was to help increase the film industry’s awareness of the Central Valley of California as an untapped source for rural and agricultural shooting locations. 

In March 2001, the Film Commission’s first official endeavor was sponsoring the North American Premier of “The Ugly Kid”, produced by Shadow Productions and staring Todd Bosley.  After the premier, the commission focused on formulating plans for the first annual Delta Film Festival.

The goal of the Delta Film Festival is to enhance the cultural, educational and economic vitality of the regions it serves, while providing filmmakers around the world a personalized forum for their creative works.  This festival is a showcase and competition of independent feature length and short films, with a special focus on digital film processing.  The festival honors a diverse body of emerging and established talent, including student filmmakers and cutting edge independents. 

Located in the heart of the Central Valley of California, Manteca is the crossroads of California—no matter from which direction you are coming—north, south, east or west.  Located near Yosemite National Park, the Historic Gold Country, San Francisco, and the Wine Country, Delta Film Festival attendees and participants can easily combine festival fun with a favorite destination.  

We look forward to sharing our very special community and fun-filled festivities with you when you make your destination the Delta Film Festival – Manteca, California U.S.A.
