Marilyn Swick

This is one festival for all to attend! Not only 5 stars in all areas, but if there were 10 stars, it would receive 10 stars in all areas.

Joe Leone

Incredible festival experience! This was my 4th year attending the festival. To all filmmakers and screenwriters, don't miss out. You won't be disappointed. See you next year. Take care!

Ashley Bratcher

Show Low was a fantastic festival! The team communicated clearly and made the prep work for getting to the festival a breeze. There was plenty of time for networking and panels, which our team really enjoyed. I'd highly recommend this festivals to others. We were honored to take home 2nd place overall for our short film, Pharma. Thank you to all the Show Low event staff!

Brian O'Connor

A wonderful experience. Big enough to draw talented filmmakers from around the world. Small enough to make real connections. SLFF is top shelf from start to finish!

Kathryn Berghoff

Fantastic festival. Well organized, great communication, terrific films and seminars. Our film was shown 3 times with Q&A after each film. The White Mountains of Arizona are a spectacular setting for a morning hike before a day of film-watching and networking. Highly Recommend!

Rebecca Wackler

This is a great festival. Martina and Dalea were so genuinely welcoming to all of us filmmakers that we felt like they knew us and our films as well. It’s a very professional festival that is run with great hospitality and warmth. I made some wonderful connections to other filmmakers. Thank you for including CATCHING THE BUS in your line up this year. We were thrilled to be there.

Rod Randolph

This is truly one of the best film festivals I have ever attended. Martina, her husband and family are marvelous hosts. We felt welcomed and at home. That was an excellent selection of films, seminars and other related activities that were very informative and educational. I would highly recommend this festival and I look forward to next year's festivities :-)

I had a great experience at the Show Low Film Festival. The town of Show Low is so cute and fun. All the locals were super nice. I met so many great filmmakers and screenwriters. This was a great festival for networking.

Rita Betti

It was a pure delight to attend this wonderful festival. It's well organized and the networking is great. Wonderful workshops! All around a great festival to attend

Kimber leigh

I have attended film festivals for decades now. Show Low film festival is by far superior.! You are treated like you are part of their film family. If weI didn’t already have another film to submit… we would make one just to be able to submit another year to Show Low. Outstanding!!!!!!

Bradford Uyeda

This was the best networking weekend I've had all year. The workshops were extremely well developed and had so much valuable information for filmmakers. The curated films were all top notch!


Beverly Nault

I can’t recommend SLFF enough. From the communication through email to their custom app, the organization was excellent. The film blocks and workshop speakers were excellent. Everyone from the staff to the volunteers were friendly and welcoming. And the opportunity to meet the filmmakers, and then participate in the Q&A chats was fabulous. If you’re looking for an intimate yet international festival experience, enter, or just go to Showlow. Totally recommended.
