    Honestly one of my favorite festivals we attended, they truly care about the art and the artists - cultivating an amazing environment to meet other filmmakers and celebrate the craft.

    This is a gem of a festival. La Grande is lovely and charming, communication is top-notch, and they really care about providing a great experience for the filmmakers. I'm so grateful I got a chance to screen Rash here and to meet fantastic filmmakers.

    Absolutely loved this festival for our film. Because of its size, I got to talk to and spend time with almost every filmmaker in attendance. The events were a ton of fun and the crowds were super engaged and encouraging.
