Thank You for Supporting Independent Film
Dear FBFF Family,
The credits may be rolling, but our story isn’t over.
As we wrap another Full Bloom Film Festival, we simply want to say thank you.
Thank you for showing up. For buying a ticket, watching a film, staying for a Q&A, cheering on a filmmaker, bringing a friend, sharing a post, volunteering, sponsoring, or simply being curious enough to experience something new.
Full Bloom is possible because of people like you.
Independent film gives us stories that surprise us, challenge us, make us laugh, move us, and sometimes help us see the world just a little differently. But the magic of this film festival goes way beyond what happens on the screen.
It’s the conversations at the venues. The filmmaker sharing their art for the first time in front of an audience. The local downtown businesses welcoming festival goers. The volunteers making sure everything runs smoothly. The artists, musicians, sponsors, partners, and community members who come together because they believe in the power of art and storytelling.
You help make Statesville a place where stories from around the world can find an audience.
We hope Full Bloom left you with a favorite film, a new perspective, a great conversation, or simply a little more appreciation for the joy of sitting together and sharing a story.
Thank you for believing in independent film. For believing in Full Bloom. And thank you for helping us grow this little festival into something truly magical.
Until next year, keep watching. Keep supporting filmmakers. Keep supporting artists!
Sincerely,
Sydney Koppelmeyer
Executive Director
Iredell Arts Council
