Filmmaker Testimonals

George Ellzey Jr., Filmmaker

“We appreciate the welcome gifts and the staff intentionally creating a warm and inviting space from entering the theater to sharing about the film during Q&A. This festival is a gem of the Midwest.”

“Even though my team and I couldn’t attend, they kept in communication with us about our film’s screening and even managed to connect us in via Skype after the screening. Wonderful festival!”
