“LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this film fest! So inspiring. Leaves me craving more.”

“As a student filmmaker, I was in awe at my time here. Equally informative and intimate, I had real one on one time with professionals outside of the festival. I hope one day I can give back to the festival as much as it gave to me this weekend!”

“Thank you again for inviting me to be a part of your amazing film festival. It was a wonderful experience and I was really impressed by all the students!”

“Diverse and inspiring selection of films with excellent speakers.”
