What People Are Saying -

CMIFF did a great job exhibiting our film. Everyone was kind and professional and the video and sound quality were on point. It was so great to have a meet-and-greet with food and drinks after the screening so we could connect with other filmmakers. I definitely look forward to going back next year.

Central Michigan International Film Festival has great programming, and a wonderful group of volunteers who are very welcoming. The festival screens films in nice auditoriums as well as a fine theater that are both good quality. The filmmaker party was an awesome opportunity to meet fellow filmmakers, and share in the art that we're all passionate about. Definitely recommend!!
