Testimonials
At what is the most glamorous festival we have attended
to date, we screened at the state-of-the-art Pacific Theatres in the heart of downtown San Diego. What was most amazing was not the fact that they had (super cool) parties every night, nor free food and drink almost all of the time, nor the complementary massages. What then? How about a packed house for every screening? It was amazing to see your film with every seat taken. The icing on the cake, though, were the nice folks running the show.

I DID enjoy the festival immensely this year. I found it remarkably well organized, well programmed and well attended. And of course I was thrilled to win the award! You Robin, and Wally should be proud.

Dorothy (Lyman) and I have not stopped talking about the festival since Sunday. We're thrilled to have received the Best Cinematography award. But above and beyond that honor, we were extremely impressed by the festival. The programming was excellent, the venue wonderful, and the opportunities to network with other filmmakers well-organized and just plain fun. We have urged all of our Los Angeles friends and co-workers to head down to San Diego next year and experience the films you and your colleagues have selected. Now ... about you. Your hospitality, thoughtfulness, and wonderful sense of humor made the event especially memorable. Brava! Thanks for your faith in The Northern Kingdom. As soon as we have something new, we'll put it into your hands.
— Producer, Melissa Sweeney, The Northern Kingdom
