  • Fantastic festival with a truly unique, community-driven atmosphere! The organizers did an incredible job this year, adapting to challenges by turning local cafes, restaurants, and creative hubs across West Palm Beach into vibrant spaces for global indie cinema.

    I am deeply honored that my film, "RED DOT," won the Best AI Family Dramatization award. Seeing that emotional message land successfully with the jury and local audiences here is incredibly rewarding.

    Huge thanks to the entire Northwood Film Festival team for your passion, dedication, and excellent communication. Highly recommend this festival to any independent filmmaker looking for a welcoming and authentic platform!

    Thank you, Northwood Film Festival, for choosing "My Mother is the Moon, My Father is the Sun," as an Official Selection. I'm very honored to have my short amongst your longer and feature-length films. Your team has been highly professional and great to work with, and I hope I'll get to join you in person for a future festival! Thank you again.

    Response from festival:

    Michael!
    We had some great responses by audience members, namely they enjoyed how human and humane your documentary was and how it highlighted more of the similarities that anyone would have in forming connections, embracing others while respecting traditions and taking on new views. We loved it. Thanks for submitting!
