WHAT ATTENDEES AND CREATORS SAID ABOUT OUR PREVIOUS DIGIFEST® EVENTS

"This is a great festival that is super supportive of the artists. I really hope to attend in person someday, and definitely plan to submit new content in the future. I really appreciate their support of Indigenous artists."

PAMALA PALMATER

"I have enjoyed the DigiFest Temecula 2024, as I have gained a lot of new connections within my field of Digital Media, as well as my creativity and inspirational projects. Diane and Scott Strand have been a huge part of improving my projects, as well as my social media presence. I look forward to attending again soon!"

Serianna Machesney Dehmlow

"Great experience at DigiFest 2024. It was an honor to receive the People's Choice Award for Best Music. I look forward to returning next year with a new Music Video."

Bern Baumgartner

"I'll be remiss if I didn't say it was an honor to be selected and win an award at this festival. Most importantly, the environment they created for filmmakers to learn from other industry professionals was invaluable. Looking Forward to attending again next year."

KERRON ANDREWS

"DigiFest really does live up to its name. I highly recommend that you submit to this festival, especially if you are a creator of other forms of digital media (even outside of film), particularly animation or graphic design. As a stop-motion animator, it is really exciting to see festival categories that celebrate and recognize multiple forms of the moving image! The communication was excellent and was executed by an awesome team of community-driven creators."
