    Response from festival:

    Thanks for participating. Our audience was appreciative to learn more about the film and meeting you both. Welcome anytime.

    Truly a unique festival. Nathan and Shelli love film and I was impressed with the quality of the work. The Q&A's were great as well and conducted after every screening with the filmmakers given a good 15 mins to speak about their film and answer questions.

    Thanks for having our film. I enjoyed the presentation and the longer than usual Q&A session! Not very often do short film directors get to speak at length about their films, process, and themes and this festival did just that for us.

    We were honored that Sunlight was chosen and attended the last day. Wonderful interaction with filmmakers, audience and staff that gives me hope for film making a difference...I highly recommend this festival

    Why Woodstock did not live up to the hype, the Woodstock Museum Film Festival most certainly did! What a blast to be playing in three different theatres on site, have a great and interested crowd, an energized Q&A with questions and thoughts I had never been asked, awesome hosts, and share another adventure with my ❤️ Susan Judy! A ton of fun and great Q&A with love and life! Ty Thank you Nathan, Terry, and Shelli!
