What People Are Saying About WRTFF:
From Filmmakers:
"The Wandering Reel festival is a one of a kind festival. I've always had fantasies of touring around the country with a band like a rock star -- with Wandering Reel, filmmakers get to do just that. You get to screen your film to different audiences in different cities around the country. I wholeheartedly recommend to any young filmmakers looking to get eyeballs on their work."
~Reinaldo Marcus Green, Filmmaker (Director of the award winning film, "Stop")
"Our short film "Birthday" was able to reach SO many more audiences in the U.S. because of Wandering Reel. And these were engaged audiences who care about film and how they can incite conversations on topics people are passionate about. Kudos to Wandering Reel for bringing compassionate cinema to the people!"
~Chris King, Filmmaker (director of the award winning film, "Birthday")
"The Wandering Reel reminded me of why I started making films in the first place: it is possible to change people lives through thoughtful art and moving art."
~Philippe Vaucher, Filmmaker (Director of "Le Puits")
From Venue Owners:
"The Wandering Reel were wonderful to work with and our patrons were pleased to have thought provoking, carefully selected films right in our little theater. We had lively discussions and insight to the films moderated by the curator, Michael Harrington. It all made for a wonderful night and gave our little town a touch of culture generally reserved for larger cities and venues."
~Wayd Drake, Manager - Barnstormers Theater, Grants Pass, OR
“Wandering Reel represents a missing link for many audiences who are never exposed to short form moving images — the quality shorts on display go light-years beyond the cat videos littering the inter web, even if most audiences have never dared pay for a short video on iTunes. Having a curator provide background on the films and filmmakers is an invaluable experience for viewer as well.”
~Michael Falter, Owner - City Lights Cinema Florence, OR
"The two programs we ran with Wandering Reel in Spring 2016 were easy to do, profitable and extremely well received. Michael Harrington led excellent, thought-provoking discussions after each one. We're looking forward to having Wandering Reel back next year with a new program I expect will be just as great."
~Lissa Weinmann, Owner - 118 Elliot St, Brattleboro, VT
