A festival which celebrates cinema and how! So much support and love for every film screened! Can't wait to be back again!

Tathagata Ghosh, Filmmaker

TFF was a great experience. The whole team works super hard to bring diverse programming, and they are incredibly hospitable to filmmakers and attendees. I'd submit again in a heartbeat!

Kyle Taubken, Filmmaker

The entire team is so welcoming to filmmakers and they clearly have such a passion for what they do.

Abby Wright, Filmmaker

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.

Christopher Shipe, Filmmaker

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!
