"You guys did an incredible job, we were all gushing over your ability to make this happen, thought it was really a coup of sorts and we're curious about next year. If you keep curating it, it could easily be a destination doc festival in no time." Sarah Price, director, The Yes Men
"Congratulations on a wildly successful film festival. We enjoyed every minute and are looking forward to next year. I really liked the fun and intellectual spirit of the festival and the loyalty to downtown Columbia. Darwin should be ecstatic." Linda Harlan, teacher, T/F advisory board
"I'm still incredibly impressed by what you managed to pull off. It's a real achievement - and judging by the turn out at the films, one which the town embraced with open arms. Well done...it was an honour to be associated with the first ever True/False festival." Kevin Macdonald, director, Touching the Void
"The festival was exquisite. I couldn't believe I was in Columbia. It felt like some coastal city. The films I saw were amazing but the one that stuck in my mind was The Corporation.... Again, it was delightful. I just can't get over it." Ruthie Moccia, festival-goer
"I had a great weekend in Columbia. You guys did a great job and if there's anything I can help with in the future, please let me know. I'd really like to help make True/False a major screening venue of docs in the coming years. More power!" Ramona Diaz, director, Imelda
"Just wanted to say we had a great time at the festival and am very glad you were so persistent in pushing me to bring the film." Rick Cowan, producer, Confederate States of America
"I've heard so much positive feedback; folks who missed this year want to be involved next year. This was a wonderful event!" Sarah Riddick, William Woods University, T/F advisory board
"WOW! The fest was a lot of fun. Your programming was great. You guys fought for films you loved, you honored the directors who made them and you strutted your documentary chops before an appreciative town that showed up in droves. Bravo!! Well done lads!! Chaille had a blast and made some friends." Colleen Stovall, whose son Chaille led a children's filmmaking workshop
"Congratulations on putting on such a great festival your first time out, and thank you so much for making Marco and me a part of it. It was great to see a community so energized by a festival, as opposed to just being a location. I am sure there are great things in the True/False future. Get some rest." Whitney Dow, co-director, Two Towns of Jasper
"I wanted to congratulate you and your staff on the great film festival. I've spoken highly of it on both my show on KKFI and on the Walt Bodine Show on KCUR. Best wishes for next year's event. Russ Simmons, KKFI-FM Kansas City
"Dear True False Godsends, Thank you so much for organizing one of the best weekends I've had since moving from San Francisco to Columbia. You so clearly planned the series with care, intelligence, and creativity. My friends in SF couldn't believe I saw movies before they did (Lost Boys of Sudan, The Yes Men). That was a first. Even more important, of course, is that each film made an impact. I've even signed up to volunteer as a tutor for refugees because of Lost Boys." Marisa Milanesa, festival-goer
"Congratulations on your new festival. I'll bet Columbia, Missouri has the most enlightened and frightened population in America today as a result. It's a worthy cause." Cory McAbee, director, American Astronaut
"I just wanted to thank you both once again for such a brilliant festival. You rounded up an exceptional program and lured a very fine group of people to hang out with. It was all low key and unpretentious which is how it ought to be." Mark Achbar, co-director, The Corporation
