    An incredible film festival! The SSSFF team has been helpful and responsive in our communication and provided such a cool platform for local filmmakers to screen films in a theater full of audiences! We were really happy to be part of it and look forward to submitting again in the future.

    This fest was great. They stuck it to covid by having an awesome drive-in, with a great line up of local talent. They even had a portable jumper on-hand when our car's battery annoyingly died. Also free french fries, a box of swag, and a fun "red carpet" photo op for filmmakers. Good times!

    The whole team did a great job making the event memorable while also following safety measures. I loved the drive-in experience! I had some questions before I submitted my film and they always answered quickly and were so encouraging. They very clearly want to celebrate filmmakers and the stories they are trying to share. I would recommend this film festival to anyone in the area. Great experience all around, and I hope to be back next year.

    What a great time. In spite of a bit of rain, the drive-in went splendidly, was very well organized, and even had a couple of surprises. (Free fries? Sign me up!) Happy to have been a part of SSSFF 2021 and look forward to next year.
