    A wonderful opportunity to see films from around the world about, by and/or starring the individuals we love, people with Down syndrome. It was an honor for our film to be included in this festival and we look forward to next years festival.

    I wasn't able to attend but my film, Kelly's Hollywood was really well received and my brother was able to partake. The communication and coordination prior was superior. As was the appreciation from the festival director for allowing my film to be part of the festival. Top notch! Thanks Ethan Saylor Memorial FF

    For a first-year event put together in just a matter of months, this festival had a great premiere and holds great promise for being the leading fest for films featuring a connection to the Down Syndrome community! Bravo!
