The lineup was INCREDIBLE, and it was an honor to be shown beside them. Organizers created a welcoming environment for filmmakers—the VIP/Filmmaker Brunch was lovely! I highly recommend submitting to TFF!

Simply a great festival! Communication was timely and personal and we received a kind welcome.

TFF is wonderful festival that cultivates an intimate space where filmmakers can really make a one-to-one connection. It's about friends and cinephiles hanging out and sharing a passion. Highly recommended and I hope to be back soon. All the best.

One of my favorite regional film festivals! The programming is outstanding: for the films in competition, the programmers select excellent-quality and TRUE indie films that are not just the same films playing all of the other regional fests. Plus they showcase exciting titles fresh from Sundance, Slamdance, etc for their out-of-competition slots. (I gladly watched six features and three shorts in two days.) They are also extremely well-organized and communicative. Great after parties, Q&A sessions and a well-run awards ceremony (featuring beautiful trophies) on closing night. A relaxed and friendly atmosphere where the opportunities for networking with other filmmakers are plentiful. I greatly hope to return!

This festival benefits from a great and knowledgeable team. Despite it being fairly new, their programming was really good and we enjoyed all of the Q&As with some top documentary filmmakers. Definitely worth the submission fee!
