    Eastern Oregon is a fantastic festival, and one that should definitely be on your submission list!
    I'm a festival alumni, and screening this year has been my third time screening at EOFF. I really appreciate the support the festival gives its alumni, and it feels great coming back again with my new film.
    Festival Director Christopher Jennings is the loveliest and most supportive Festival Director you could hope for, and communication with Chris has been brilliant from day one!
    Unfortunately as I live in London, UK, I wasn't able to attend in person, this is was also due to my work commitments back home, but the selection of films at this festival is fantastic (filmmakers receive a free virtual pass), and I would highly recommend submitting your new work to EOFF!
    Thank you again Chris for all your support!

    This is a festival that is *always* getting recommended due to the care and attention they provide their filmmakers... So we were delighted to have three clients screen there in 2024, and hope to attend ourselves soon!

    Thanks so much to Chris and the rest of the EOFF team for putting on an awesome festival! It was great to meet and hang with the other filmmakers, and always a joy to see your film screened in front of a crowd. Thanks for selecting The Cave to play this year!

    What a fun festival! Unique in so many ways and full of heart. EOFF was a great experience for us and our film SPACE. Our opening night screening was well attended by a large, engaged audience. The festival drew film lovers from across the region as well as a celebrity or two, which added that buzzy feeling. Festival Director Chris Jennings and his team bent over backwards to accommodate our needs. And, wow, the town of La Grande, set in the center of Eastern Oregon’s stunning nature, is a cinematic place all of its own. Many thanks to the EOFF for a valuable and memorable time!
