"I’m loving the movies! So so good. I saw most of the Week 1 movies and all but one of the Week 2. I love that there are long and short ones so I can adjust to my available time. I just now finished "LN3: Seven Teachings of the Anishinaabe Resistance." Outstanding! And the quality of the whole production has just been stellar. Really top notch. Please send a big congratulations and thanks to everyone who helped make this possible. Can’t wait for the next movie! :-)"

"This festival has made my month. Watching Netflix and Hulu, you kind of get depressed seeing a couple points of view. I binged watched the Vision Maker Film Festival, and it made my soul feel different and my emotions found allies through all these films. Thank you for this experience. This is truly one of the bright places in cinema today. Truly humbled by these films."

I am really enjoy the variety of topics, would make an excellent course on diversity and Open discussions around reconciliation. Grateful they are online, and can be viewed at own leisure.

"Thank you all for a great and needed discussion. I agree with what was said that even showing us as people in today's world is viewed as activism because they don't see or know us as existing in the current times."
