    Terrific festival that is keenly curated. Filmmakers are warmly welcomed and treated fabulously. Audiences draw deep into the community. Projection and sound are top rate. We were thrilled to be selected to screen at this prestige festival and the experience was one of the best I have ever had at a film festival.

    It was great getting to see our film on the big screen. Since many of the actors live in the Prescott area, they were able to invite their friends and family to watch their film. Bravo!

    The metal sculpture of the bird was a thoughtful gift and it was such a surprise to be invited to the dinner hosted by the college that followed the student film festival. Thank you.

    was really organized and communicative. They responded to emails very quickly. Very smooth process. Shared information about my film online as well and gave it more exposure. Was not able to attend but joined the Q&A via video chat which was very smoothly done. Great questions
