That’s a wrap on CREDO 23 Film Festival 2026!
The weekend could not have gone better. We screened amazing films, welcomed incredible guest speakers, and awarded over $70,000 in grants (each short film director received $2300; feature films received $5000, and film/equipment grants from
@kodak and
@keslowcamera ).
It’s truly an honor to work alongside
@_credo23_ founder
@_justinebateman_ on this. It all started with her vision of a film festival that prioritizes GOOD FILMMAKING over everything else, and it has grown into something far more meaningful than anyone could imagine.
This year, we had a group of awe inspiring filmmakers join
@_justinebateman_ on stage for q&a’s: Sean Baker, Matthew Weiner, Reed Morano, Cassian Elwes, Chris Bergoch, Stella Maeve, Chris Rossi, and Matt Tauber. They were unbelievably generous with their time and I know for a fact that everyone in attendance was blown away by what was talked about.
