What BendFilm has that will keep it alive even in precarious times is a committed core of organizers, volunteers and friends -- local and faraway -- who love the town and see the value in supporting independent American cinema.

We are still coming down from the high that was this weekend. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving our film a chance. We think your faith in us and the sequential awards from the festival will give our film the credibility needed to navigate this final stage of the process. We are so grateful.
Best Wishes,
Danny Daneau

I had a super, amazing, wonderful, memorable time in your fair city. The festival will rank high up there with one of the best.. . Your hospitality and generosity toward filmmakers trump all that. I can't wait to come back. Thanks for giving D tour an incredible opportunity to screen (five times!) before a community who truly loves independent film. Wonderful, wonderful.

...I wanted to let you know what an incredible time I had screening 'Open Your Eyes' at and participating in BendFilm!!! Your festival is truly fantastic - from your audiences (who were really welcoming) to the films that screened.
It is not often that filmmakers rave about their experience at a festival - but that was something that happened non-stop during the 4 days of your festival.
Thank you again for having our film be part of this year's festival! Really hope that I will have the opportunity to be part of BendFilm in the future:)
