I have been fortunate to attend this festival both as a filmmaker and as an audience member,
and to witness firsthand how it has grown and how their adept and indefatigable staff and volunteers have approached each new year, building upon previous years’ successes, and in turn fostering an inclusive and enriching setting for filmmakers and film lovers to gather, experience and discuss representation in new works and to champion the full span that is women’s varied perspectives.

I love NWFFest!!! The staff makes your entire team feel like their work is valued, and you can tell that love went into planning every phase of the event. The staff is so d*** lovable, and they take the time to get to know each filmmaker by name, which isn’t very common at festivals nowadays. I appreciate NWFFest because they appreciate us! Thank you, NWFFest!
