Mark & Christine
We couldn’t be happier with the reception our filmmakers received from our local film fans, as well as how much our film festival was embraced by the city of Boise.
From a supremely supportive Board to an amazing list of sponsors, to the last volunteer, there was an enthusiastic energy that swept up everyone throughout the past four days.
Filmmakers bonded with audiences during our Q&As, aspiring writers, directors, and producers received insider knowledge during our master classes, and everyone immersed themselves in the world of cinema with Boise providing a flawless backdrop to it all
Grateful for Our Incredible Sponsors
