Testimonials
“The Blue Water Film Festival had to have been my favorite festival I have attended so far this year. I have had my films screen at Detroit Windsor, Ferndale, Grand Rapids, Riverside Saginaw and East Lansing.
You guys treated us well, communicated to us well, and got us an audience! It was a great venue, with a great staff, outstanding shorts, and it was indeed a memorable weekend of my life.
I will be submitting again next year, keep it up. It truly felt like a film festival.”

“I thought your team did a fine job kicking off the Blue Water Film Festival. GREAT JOB. I had been to about a dozen film festivals in the past year or so and I am happy to say that I felt the atmosphere and organization for BWFF was one of the best. I was also happy to see that the turn out for the films was really good too.
Some of the other festivals I have been to have had films playing with five or six people in the theater - it’s kind of disheartening when you pour your heart and soul into making a film (even a short film) and it plays to a half a dozen people, I mean ‘movies are made to be seen’!”
