Reviews

This was a great film festival. They really went out of their way to make the filmmakers feel valued and celebrated. I made so many amazing connections through this festival. I look forward to attending again in the future.

DBFF must be experienced. This standout Denton festival includes a weekend of quality films, premiere musical acts, and an evening of spoken word & poetry that quite frankly blew me away. ... The fest offers programming that you won't find anywhere else in town. ... A true artistic asset to the Denton community.
