    The 2024 Reedy Reels Film Festival was stellar. As a first-time filmmaker, I was honored to have my very first film, Clean Sweep, chosen as a Finalist in the Best Upstate South Carolina Category. Thanks to my entire cast and crew, especially my cinematographer Phil Duckett and my editor Landrick "Prafessa" Pond for helping me produce our first short! Looking forward to next year's 10th Anniversary.

    Top Notch Festival - Loved this festival! It was an honor to win Best Comedy for our film Wicked Image. Opening night party sponsored by local business and was packed with audience. We loved all the opportunities to meet other filmmakers. Greenville is beautiful and they support the festival. It's a great way to spend your weekend and watch excellent films. Bob, Ken, Matt, and Mike care so much about filmmakers and will make sure you enjoy a weekend filled with hospitality and southern charm.

    This was my favorite festival that I attended for my film Owe Joe. It was very professional as well as fun. The venue was very nice and the people were very inviting. This festival is on the rise. I would definitely recommend it.
