"This festival, with its funky, cool locations, its hip city (tons of fabulous parties and musical events all week!), and a fascinated and educated film-going public, was the best festival I went to all year. The facilities were by far the best! The quality of video projection I asked for was amazing (Digi Beta), the sound was GREAT, and the theatres were big, and very cool. This is a festival for directors, put together by a group of sincere, film-loving organizers, who pick amazing films, and really care too about stories from Middle America! I can't say enough good things about this festival!"
