    My experience at the Justice Film Festival was really wonderful. The venue is superb, the audience was highly engaged, and the films were thoughtfully curated. I definitely plan on returning, and sincerely hope more people discover and attend this great festival.

    The festival's organizers and the staff is what truly separates this FF from some others. Their dedication to filmmakers and the way they run their event is really phenomenal. Not to mention the venue is gorgeous! Will definitely submit again!

    Andy and the crew at Justice Everywhere film festival are phenomenal. They are very personable, branded well, the networking and ability to tell your story were honest and legit. For my team and I, we felt this festival one of the few festivals that are not money grabs, they really care about the projects being submitted.

    Unfortunately we were not able to attend the festival but communication with the festival directors and staff was great (and easy), they were a pleasure to work with and we'll definitely submit again in the future.

    I was thrilled to screen American Beat at the JFF. The festival organizers and staff made it a wonderful experience from start to finish. The theater is beautiful and the audience that filled it came ready to engage. I particularly appreciated the expansive interpretation of justice —there is room for a wide variety of films.
