WHAT PEOPLE SAY

AARON MORGAN | FILMMAKER

“Adam and his team were so supportive in a very difficult year for filmmakers and audiences in general. You can tell they have a passion for film and people. Highly recommend submitting to this wonderful festival."

EV DORAN | FILMMAKER

I can't say enough good things about my experience with this festival. This team put so much thought and care into every aspect of this event. They were great about giving the filmmakers opportunities to speak about their films and to network with one another. The venue is beautiful and St. George was a wonderful place to visit. I'm so excited to submit all of my future projects to Desertscape, as I hope to have the opportunity to participate in this special weekend again and again.

JULIAN DOAN | FILMMAKER

[The} team at Desertscape were really great and communicative! They had extremely warm and personal responses about our film. They programmed some great films and made great efforts to signal boost all the work on social media as well. They also made sure to offer arrangements for the filmmakers and show great hospitality.
