    It was an an honour to have the world premiere screening of my short film "Hunting Trip" at the inaugural Moose Jaw Film Festival! A film festival solely highlighting the Saskatchewan film industry is much needed and I look forward to next year!

    The Moose Jaw Festival was an incredible experience. The organization was fantastic, the schedule ran beautifully, and the overall vibe was positive and welcoming from start to finish. I especially appreciated how inclusive the categories were, creating space for such a wide range of filmmakers and storytellers.

    The level of talent on display across film, television, and commercial work was amazing, and the location itself was absolutely beautiful. It truly felt like a celebration of Saskatchewan’s creative community.

    We’re very lucky to have people willing to put in the huge amount of work it takes to make something like this happen. Huge kudos to the entire team for pulling off such a wonderful event.

    The Moose Jaw Film Festival is a fantastic addition to Saskatchewan’s film scene. The theatre is beautiful, the event itself was amazing, and Moose Jaw is a such a cool place to spend a weekend in. If you’re a Sask. filmmaker considering submitting next year, it’s a no-brainer. Amazing job by the MJFF team and all the best for 2027!
