    We had a great time! Strongly recommend submitting your short film projects here. Thank you Rick Medved and Fest. crew for putting on a great show and our film Manly Men of the Mountains came home with a win for Best Comedy!

    Great local film festival with a personal touch. I was happy my team won best editing for my short film, Color of the Sky.

    It was nice that the festival also provided written feedback for all films submitted. Hope to be back again soon!

    What a fabulous Film Festival!!!! Not only was it screened in a great venue with marvelous people, but they actually took the time to review and critique each film in writing…. What a great way to show your work and learn valuable lessons at the same time! Thanks all, had a blast!🎉😀☀️🎁

    I’m glad I submitted my film “Kurt” to the festival. It got a best horror nomination, which surprised me! I received multiple sources of feedback prior to the festival, which was nice. The venue was great. Everyone seemed very respectful and happy to be there. I would definitely submit again if I have a new project ready for the next year!
