We LOVE our Filmmakers..and Apparently, they LOVE us too! Check out what they have to say about their experience at the Twin Cities Film Fest!
We had such an excellent time sharing the film with so many of the people who contributed over the past couple of years. We so appreciate the platform to share the film and bring it to an audience, and one of the highlights of my night was speaking with a couple of veterans who were at the premiere screening with their service animals. They were incredibly appreciative of the film and of the theme of the festival overall. Wednesday night was really special to us. Even though I was a little overwhelmed and stressed out!

The Twin Cities Film Festival is a breath of fresh air on an ever expanding and often exhausting film festival circuit! As soon as you arrive the team of volunteers make you feel at home and part of the community. I was only there for a weekend, but was able to enjoy Minneapolis, films and make great friends.
Derek Hallquist, Filmmaker DENIAL
As a filmmaker, you feel appreciated. As an audience member, you feel privileged. The arts are alive in the Twin Cities… and especially at the Twin Cities Film Fest.

The passion and dedication all the people involved with the Twin Cities Film Festival was beyond amazing!!! Everyone we met was beyond amazing and had so many great opportunities to learn through workshops as well as the talent level of films that were represented. It was an honor to be apart of and hope to continue to be part of in years to come!!!

What an amazing event! I cannot express the gratitude and overall feeling of community I have experienced at the TCFF. The whole experience seemed to flow seamlessly from the volunteers assisting with transportation to the TCFF Lounge. Thank you for allowing the Iron Will team to premier our film and continued success with the TCFF!

Just wanted to thank you for including “Nowhereland” at the Twin Cities Film Festival. The festival was first class all the way around and I was so happy to be there. Also, really appreciated the Q&A, was interesting and rewarding to hear the feedback.

As a first time filmmaker (without papers-short doc), I can’t thank the Twin Cities Film Fest enough for all their attention to detail, the hospitality and total dedication toward the Fillmmakers and public in general. The quality of the films is outstanding and I can’t wait to come back with another film or as a patron. Thank you Twin Cities Film Fest!
Andres’ Parra – Director WITHOUT PAPERS
Thank you so much for including my first feature “Larchmont” in the festival this year. Seeing it yesterday in the movie theater was really an incredible experience for me and I’ll never forget it. You and your staff were always so nice and attentive, so thanks for running such a great operation. Hope to screen with you guys again in the years to come.
Ben Zuckert – Filmmaker – LARCHMONT

Really spectacular film festival! Great staff. Great selection. Everyone in Minnesota should go at least once. Deserves to be ranked up there with the best!

TCFF caters to the filmmaker and provides great audiences for your work. They are constantly coming up with ideas to reach out further than other festivals and bring new ideas to help get your films out to a broader audience.
