Testimonials

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.

Linda Rosenfeld

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.

Nenad Zezelj

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!

Aastha Verma

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 🙂

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.
