I just wanted to let you know that Ian and I loved it and were very impressed by the festival. We were disappointed that our schedule couldn’t let us spend more time in Taos and meet the filmmakers. I’ll definitely be telling my filmmaker friends to submit in the future, and of course I will submit as well! Thank you so much for showing First Night Out. The response was pretty incredible. – Will Mayo, First Night Out

I wanted to say I was blown away by the quality, selection and professionalism of the festival. It was inspired to do a Persian section, opening a window to Iranian life we seldom see. The mix of whimsical ìTwinsvilleî and îFishî, heart tugging works like ìAgua Blancaî and ìWaiting for Dawnî and effective activist art like ìOne Million Stepsî and ìHeiloî kept a pace and made you think. By 10.30 Thursday night I was exhausted. Thatís because Iíd been concentrating so hard, unlike commercial film, which is an eyewash. And there were two days more. – Bob Dowling, Santa Fe

I am still basking in the glow of the wonderful experience that is Taos Shortz! I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you and Tizz for including me in such a great festival. – Amos Glick, A Man Wakes Up, People’s Choice winner 2016

Thank you so much for including my film in your festival and for hosting me in Taos. It was truly a remarkable weekend, I received such a wonderful response for my film, and it was fantastic to meet so many incredible filmmakers from around the world! I hope I get a chance to come back again, and I will definitely be submitting my next film ( whenever I make it…). – Richard Arum, So I was Wondering
