What people said
It didn’t feel
like a first year.
I have attended hundreds of film festivals over the course of my 27 years in the film and television industry and SilverVox Film and Music festival rates at the top of the list.
Rick Kain
Invasion ’53 · Actor
Their first year and it felt like their tenth. Frederick is the perfect city for a film festival. It’s historic, bustling, walkable… It felt like a smaller SXSW.
Kate Taney Billingsley
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this festival was about more than just screening films. It was about celebrating storytellers, fostering meaningful conversations, and creating connections among filmmakers and audiences.
