(Blank) is such a distinguished figure in nonfiction cinema. To have him coming to our festival is an incredible honor to us, and a great opportunity to the community to have such a great artist in town.

The fact that we're getting so many world premiers is, I think, a sign that filmmakers are hearing good things about our festival and are feeling comfortable showing for the first time ever here. We're really happy with that.

We see it every day, so it is easy to take for granted. Missoula has a dynamic population with the university here and an incredible arts community that is vital for this kind of festival.

Our staff is incredible. Without them it wouldn't be possible to run this event.

To be dignified and distinguished give honor and dignity to others.

[Working with Scorsese] was like the honor of my life, ... I'm so busy on stuff that I so believe in that it is hard to stop and smell the roses. But I love to work, I really love to work, so I'm digging it.
