    Terrific festival! 2021. The hospitality was beyond expectations. We felt like we met the whole town. The volunteers and staff as well as the many locals who attended seemed to really appreciate the film makers. We will go back!

    A++++

    Fairhope hit the mark with an awesome Pandemic edition!

    From planning to execution great care was taken to include the Drive-in audience with the artists.

    Everyone involved should pat themselves on the back. The festival was a success in so many ways.
