American Black Film Festival

We attended ABFF as filmmakers when our project was selected as a 2023 Series Finalist and had an incredible time. The entire festival was like a creative retreat and the event execution was flawless. From the panels to the shorts, the movies to the parties and everything in between: the content was awesome and we learned so much. One of the things that stuck out the most was the vibe: it was overwhelmingly supportive and positive, with people really rooting for each other. It was special and unlike any other event we've been to. The Friday's are amazing hosts - It was an honor to be in the presence of such an exceptional group and we can't wait to go back!

I would like to thank ABFF for making my first film festival a grand experience. Thank you for allowing my freshman production company to screen our first project Being Alex in the series category. The panels were great, and they provided good soil for me to plant as we grow in the industry.

This was truly one of the most creatively recharging festivals I've had the pleasure of attending. It was such a pleasure to meet and connect with the other filmmakers and filmgoers, and the festival staff and volunteers ran the week of events so smoothly.

Class act all the way. Very professional, deeply organized and much value for the entry. The founders are hands-on, which adds a personal touch to the festival. Delighted that "The Green Couch" was selected and that we had the opportunity to be part. We had a BLAST in Miami....Thank you and many blessings!

ABFF supported me early in my career and fostered one of my most important creative collaborations. It was an honor to screen my first feature there!
