This was a great festival experience. They really worked hard to make the filmmakers feel welcome. Even though they have a small operating budget, they gave a travel stipend to filmmakers (some fests with double the budget don't do that), which demonstrates to me that their commitment is to the art of filmmaking, and celebrating filmmakers and artists, not just making money. The artistic director of the festival personally drove me around to screenings and was instrumental in helping me get my film distributed a year after the festival was over. Who does that? Only true champions of the arts. Awesome fest.
