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!

The festival organizers provided clear communication, programmed impressive selections, included a networking brunch for filmmakers, and really knew how to draw a crowd. I'm really hoping to attend this year, whether or not a project of mine is selected. TFF is great!

Thanks!! Appreciate all the love and support

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!

An exceptional festival with perks, several fun things to partake in, high quality venues for screenings, talented and friendly staff, as well as a welcoming community of filmmakers, film buffs, and more.

It was the first festival I've attended in person and it sets the bar pretty high.
