“It’s sounds rather cliché, but you when you attend NCFF you are truly seeing tomorrow’s film stars,” said Jesse Locks, Executive Director. “So many of our first-time directors, actors, producers, and comedians go on to win awards (including Oscars!) and have successful careers in Hollywood. It’s always fun to say “you knew them when” but small festivals like ours – with
our extremely engaged audience – help support independent filmmakers grow and evolve; there is something very special about having that kind of responsibility and impact.”
