Tremendous festival put together by Chris and the rest of his hardworking and friendly team. Solid programing, great parties and fun networking opportunities.

Keith Marlin, 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!

A quality regional festival that punches above its weight in terms of quality and hospitality. Everyone is super friendly and accommodating. The parties (and the Sunday brunch) were fantastic.

This year was my second time at the TFF and the first having a movie show. From the hospitality and warm welcomes from all the crew and hosts to the thoughtful programming, I had an incredible time.

Spencer Hopkins, Filmmaker

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!
