This was a great film festival. I really enjoyed all the great communication and follow up. Even though I couldn't attend in person this year, I will be sure to come back for future festivals. Outstanding management staff. I highly recommend submitting here. - Tom Struckhoff, 2022
One of the best organized festivals I’ve been screened at in 20 years! Also the way Q&A was managed for shorts programs was fabulous! And for locals, the festival makes real contact with the industry in NM. - Jim MCQuaid
Awesome programming, awesome events, awesome communication, awesome organization, and just an awesome experience overall. The festival staff truly care about you and your movie. And, all in all, it was easy to see why this festival was listed in MovieMaker Magazine's prestigious "50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee in 2021". AFMX is awesome, and most definitely worth the entry fee. Filmmakers, you definitely wanna submit to this one. – Maverick Moore, 2021
