Northwest Film Forum

"As an independent filmmaker, having the support of Northwest Film Forum has meant more than I can express. Their team has been incredibly communicative, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping my project succeed. The resources, guidance, and encouragement they’ve provided played a major role in bringing my vision to life and preparing it to share with the world. I’m grateful for their partnership as my fiscal sponsor and proud to be part of a community that values creativity, collaboration, and independent storytelling."

"Cadence video poetry festival 2026 was great!"

"This is far and away the coolest theater in town. You walk in, and immediately you’re in a 70s-style living room lobby. I unironically just hang out in the lobby sometimes. This is the place to see what Seattle filmmakers are up to, as well as get resources for your next project. They run great film festivals, full of hidden gems you can’t see anywhere else. This is where Seattle culture happens."
