First festival experience as a maker. Loved their vibe. Loved the way they support Okie filmmakers and how much they even expanded their program to meet so many artists’ hopes for showcase. They even made a Letterboxed list of all the titles that had played for us to easily reference later. Just sweet personal touches like that. Panels were great too!

Extremely professional and they honor all of the creators they invite in to the festival.

Circle Cinema was so kind throughout the entire process. They hosted the world premiere of "Barroom Heroes" and made it a smooth process. They allowed us to test our DCP early, brought in local moderators that were meaningful to our film and truly wanted to display Oklahoma stories and talent. I will definitely make this a destination for future festivals!

Also, the theater is historic and beautiful. A lot of people loved the photo ops outside the large marquee. I recommend this festival to anyone that wants to have a great time with no hassle for their festival experience!
