WFF was named one of 20 FILM FESTIVALS WORTH THE ENTRY FEE by Moviemaker Magazine. "Woodstock is one of the few festivals where the moviemaker is still king, and that philosophy translates into “hospitality that cannot be beat,” according to director Kyle Henry (Room). This attention to detail, as well as the festival’s determination to foster an atmosphere of creative independence, make the Woodstock Film Festival the ideal choice for any moviemaker looking for his or her next big move."
