The Jackson Hole Film Festival is dedicated to supporting student and independent filmmakers. Each year we work to increase our award packages, obtain hotel rooms for traveling filmmakers and ensure the Festival caters to independent filmmakers. 

"Jackson Hole has warm and enthusiastic audiences, a wonderful setting in an awesome landscape and great hospitality, affording a unique intimacy for filmmakers to meet each other. I made real friends and precious contacts at the JHFF. Careers will be launched from this festival."

- David Scheinmann, Director, "The West Wittering Affair"

"With the backdrop of the Tetons and incredible films showing day after day, this festival was definitely one of my favorites on the circuit. We had amazing audiences...and awesome Q&As. And did I mention the parties? Thanks for rolling out the red carpet for us. Hanging out in your charming town between films was pure heaven!"

-Logan Smalley, Director, "Darius Goes West: The Roll of His Life"
