“You crushed it with the movies. They were fabulous. Creative, emotional, on point in every way. I enjoyed what I saw for two days. I would not want to judge them but truly I did not see any that were not the best quality. ”

“Truly one of the best festivals I have attended. Warren is generous beyond belief and his and the rest of the team’s care of filmmakers and their work is staggering. In a sea of festivals that feel exhausting, competitive and hell bent on commercialization, the Walla Walla Movie Crush is really for the love of the form. I only hope I will be able to be able to attend with another short in 2022!”

“Walla Walla crushes it! The curation of shorts is fantastic, the town is super cool with wine tastings on every corner. They do an amazing job at keeping things intimate, it really feels like a family. Great people. Great shorts.”

“The Movie Crush challenges and inspires me to think about life and living in new ways. I think it’s the best thing to happen to Walla Walla since wine!”

“Rarely do you find a gathering of film loving folks - both community members and filmmakers - who gather for days on end to be captivated by the very best curated short films out there, (thank you Warren!) and all the while sipping glasses of local wine from Walla Walla. This welcoming and inspiring weekend feels like a true celebration of what art and community is all about.”

“Solid programming, incredible staff, great networking opportunities, Walla Walla Movie Crush has it all. Will absolutely be re-applying year after year.”

“The folks who are behind the Walla Walla Movie Crush are incredibly passionate about film and it shows through every aspect of the festival. All of the blocks were thoughtfully curated and screened in a way that created an experience greater than the sum of the individual film’s parts.”

“This festival was such a wonderful, unexpected surprise. Not only was the programming incredible, but I met so many other great filmmakers and formed some true lasting friendships. Warren and Nancy really pour their hearts and souls into crafting an experience that celebrates the short form and makes all the filmmakers in attendance feel seen. Once you’re there, they house you, feed you, ply you with booze, and create a rarified atmosphere that will have you leaving refreshed and inspired to make more films. I can’t recommend this festival highly enough, and I’m so delighted to be a part of the Crush Family. ”
