EXPERIENCE

thomas sadoski, Actor, "adult children"

The festival is so well put together. It’s cool to see it out here, if I would have had this growing up, things would have been real different, I think, in a beautiful way, so I’m happy to be a part of this.

"If I would have had this growing up, thing would have been real different."

Kerry barden, director + producer

It’s just fantastic. I think especially for independents, it’s great, because we get an audience for independent films that may not be there in the urban areas.

"we get an audience for independent films that may not be there in the urban areas."

Ellen mirojnick, costume designer

I knew it was only the second year and the very beginning of something, that was very special. I think it is very special to be part of a festival that is beginning its walk, its journey.

" I knew it was only the second year and the very beginning of something, that was very special."

vic armstrong, film director + stunt coordinator

I’m so impressed. It’s fabulous. And, I was just saying, I think it's the first festival that will openly celebrate that some (stunt) people are actually going to be eligible for Oscars. So, it's a first first all the way around. It’s wonderful.

"I’m so impressed.
it’s fabulous."

david gropman, production designer + art director

It’s nice being behind the scenes to be noticed and appreciated so it’s a great great honor, and great honor to get it here, this wonderful venue, in this wonderful town.

"here, this wonderful venue, in this wonderful town."

ayden mayeri, actress + rising star honoree

It’s so nice, it’s such an honor that anyone ever watches your work or cares about what you do. They have been so kind & generous with us to bring us out here and show us a good time so I just feel very honored and special.

"I just feel very honored
and special."

WILL BRITTAIN, Actor, "Everybody wants some!!"

I think this is the new Telluride of the South, happening right now.

“I think this is the new Telluride of the South, happening right now.”

VIRGINIA MADSEN, ACTRESS, "SHEEPDOg"

 We are all gonna be here next year, right?!
This place is almost like it’s not even real. It’s so beautiful.

 “We are all gonna be
here next year, right?!"

LILLI KAY,  Actress + Rising Star Honoree

I'm really excited. I feel like it's a special gift to be in a film space that is created by women. This is really amazing.

"I feel like it's a special gift to be in
 a film space that is created by women."

Marie botha,  ACTRESS  + Rising Star Honoree

It’s like the coolest place. I didn’t know any place like this existed. I mean it’s a dream, really. For me, coming from South Africa, being here, like at the core of country, it’s such a dream.

"I didn’t know any place like this existed.
 I mean it’s a dream, really."

VONDIE CURTIS-HALL, actor  "Sheepdog"

I got to sit on a longhorn today...I love this one, I love the vibe of it. I’ve been to Sundance, I’ve been to Cannes, I’ve been to Toronto...I feel this is really like a hometown, cozy, everybody-knows-everybody festival. It’s a completely different vibe, I really love it.

"It’s a completely different vibe,
 I really love it.”

DEEP WATER PRODUCTIONS

What a fantastic time at Round Top Film Festival. Everything was extremely well organized with people who are serious about the industry. For a first year festival, it brought in top talent from around the country. I will definitely be back!


"What a fantastic time at Round Top Film Festival."

CHRISTIAN WALLACE, AWard winning writer,  "Landman"

I’m very excited about what our cast and crew have done with Landman. And, to get to share it at this festival, it’s a huge honor.

"to get to share it at this festival,
it’s a huge honor."

matt dallas, actor, "Sheepdog"

The crowd has been amazing. Round Top is... there’s nothing like it, the excitement, the buzz, the synergy. To be here in Round Top, tonight, screening the film in Round Top, is really a dream come true.

"Round Top is... there’s nothing like it, the excitement, the buzz, the synergy."

sasha lane, actress + rising star honoree

It’s great to have a first, so this is the first of Round Top Film Festival, and I think that’s something really unique. It’ll be cool to think back in like 10 years, and think ‘oh, we were at the first one’ and see how far it’s come and grown.

"It’ll be cool to think back in like 10 years, and think ‘oh, we were at the first one.’"

James Portolese, producer + juror

The Round Top Film Festival is on its way to being a premiere festival in the country and I can't wait to come back next year! I fell in love with the town, the people and the especially the festival and will gladly sing its praises to every filmmaker I know.

"The Round Top Film Festival is on its way to being a premiere festival in the country."
