Editor,
First, we would like to thank everyone for supporting and attending this year’s 18th Green Mountain Film Festival. Your continued support, attendance and enthusiasm was very appreciated and wonderful for the staff, interns, volunteers and Focus on Film board to witness.
Second, we want to thank all of our volunteers! Without all of your dedication, hard work and help, this festival wouldn’t exist. The entire festival staff enjoyed working with each and every one of you and hope that you will return to volunteer next year.
Third, we need to thank all of the businesses in downtown Montpelier and the surrounding areas. Thank you for all of your support – we love sharing our audience with you!
We had a lot of fun planning the program for the festival, and have appreciated reading all of your comments about the individual films, guests, and your overall experience.
The Audience Award for the 2015 Green Mountain Film Festival was WHEN THE OCEAN MET THE SKY! We are excited that this year’s award goes to fellow Montpelier-ite Lukas Huffman. The second- and third-place votes went to SONG OF THE SEA and THE ROAD WITHIN. Thank you to everyone who voted for their favorite film!
Due to the festival’s success this year, we are planning on showing a few films this summer! Details are forthcoming, so keep your eye out for new programming.We are looking forward to seeing everyone at next year’s festival (and this summer).
If anyone would like more information about the festival or volunteering please contact us: gmffestival@gmail.com
