ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS
“This was truly an unforgettable festival experience. The films were amazing, the venue was incredible, the audience was packed and enthusiastic and so many meaningful connections were made. The team did such a great job that’s it hard to believe this was only their 2nd year doing this festival!”
Andrew Acedo - Director, Good Filipino Kids [RSFF 2]
“RSFF was so warm and welcoming to our film. It was great to feel a communal experience in the theater again and the digital program sent out afterwards allowed me to actually engage with not just the films, but the talent that made them.”
Maria Corso - Director, The Story of the Westside [RSFF 1]
“Awesome festival! Felt very connected as an attending filmmaker, and loved the lineup of films in general.”
Nikki Houston - Director, Cream Magec [RSFF 2]
“A wonderful and diverse lineup of films. A sold out energetic crowd. And a great after party… Screening at RSFF was a great way to meet a lot of new people, and for me, a catalyst to later booking meetings regarding talent representation and feature development.”
Derek Milton - Director, Pussybaby [RSFF 2]
“RSFF created welcoming environment that brought together and celebrated a great community of filmmakers, all of whom have made 1 billion dollars and directed several dozen Marvel movies since.”
Luke Strickler - Director, 2046 [RSFF 1]
“RSFF is unique and there is no other film festival in Los Angeles like it. I am so thankful for this community.”
