We are very grateful to have the “Dubliner” selected at the Yellowstone International Film Festival. Very professional approach as well as communication and kind friendly attitude.

Yellowstone was a great experience overall. We were honored to have our short documentary, Spokespeople, selected as part of it, and were delighted to find an elegant, artful festival during a global pandemic. The community was warm and welcoming to boot! Would recommend to other filmmakers.

A very well curated festival by Tushar and his team. It was extremely fulfilling to be a part of all the planned events and panels. We were so glad to have our film screen at YIFF! Even though it’s a brand new festival, it was more professional than most out there. Highly recommend it!

I had a lovely experience with the Yellowstone International Film Festival! My film won the award for the Best Documentary Short category. The communication was always spot on. I was also invited on a panel for women filmmakers, which was an incredible initiative by the team at YIFF! I was glad to be a part of the festival this year 🙂
