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.
Wishing you a lot of success!
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.
It’s a delight to have attended the festival. The space for discussion and conversations about some important topics has been fostered with festivals like these 🙂
Well organized festival, great communication from the very kind and lovely team. Definitely participating again. Highly recommended one of a kind film festival!
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 🙂
A brilliant festival. Very supportive of Indie Cinema and experiments. A boon for filmmaker’s of all styles and genres! Thanx for screening MISSING!
Tushar and team are wonderful, super hospitable with a strong sense of what a filmmaker can benefit from if part of the program. Regardless of being a virtual event, it was a great environment to be a part of. Hopefully in person soon.
The festival provides a great platform for the upcoming filmmakers and really puts in the work to help the selected films reach an audience!
Honoured to be a part of it!
Thank you for selecting Cry of the Forests for screening in the YIFF 2021. A great experience all round.I will be back!
