I am so happy to had my film accepted into such a wonderful festival. The venue, the people running it and the networking opportunities were terrific. The speakers discussing their experiences and overall subject taught me more than I thought I knew.
I recommend it to audience and film makers!

Outstanding festival, great feedback and friends who attended screening were impressed by the venue and people involved in running the festival. Pity our budget didn’t extend to being there in person …maybe next time.
Bravo to Ahbra and all the crew. Thank you for the screening.

This is a very valuable festival for films that grapple with the ever important topics of addiction and abuse. The staff are wonderful and the venue is a remarkable landmark that any filmmaker would be proud to showcase their film at.

Reel Recovery Film Festival is a very interesting festival focusing on the topic of addiction and mental health in general. It is therefore interesting to participate not only from the side of the film makers but also from the side of the audience, as it offers excellent food for thought. The communication is very good.

What a joy to be a part of the REEL Recovery Film Festival. Working with Founder and Director, Leonard Buschel and Co- Director Ahbra Schiff was amazing. Their passion, honesty, and love of showcasing films about addiction and mental health is visionary and life-changing. They are heroes on an important mission. All of us on the cast and crew of Bridge to the Other Side were so happy to be a part of this beautiful festival in North Hollywood. They love film and it shows. The theatre was gorgeous – sound and projection topnotch. The talkback was moving and audiences were ready to go deep and discuss the film. We met wonderful filmmakers and producers doing work that matters and is inspiring. Great conversations and connections and networking events. All in all – a wonderful festival with authentic and visionary leadership. Thank you so much, Ahbra and Leonard!

It was a privilege to be a part of this great film festival and have Profaned screened for the first time! Ahbra and Leonard were fantastic both with their communication and with their presence at the festival. They hosted a positive platform for artists to express themselves and share their experiences.

What could be better than meeting people who share my two greatest passions: film and photography and recovery. I am hugely grateful to Leonard for founding this festival and to Ahbra, his co-captain of the festival for everything they do to keep it running; and of course for inviting me with my film Forest for the Trees. Everyone in recovery and everyone who wants to get sober should know about this festival. I met some beautiful fellow-filmmakers and saw some powerful, moving and important films. Overall it was an intense and inspiring experience that reminded me of the value of making recovery a part of our art practice and has given me ideas for my next projects. Thank you for everything Leonard and Ahbra. REEL Recovery Film Festival rocks and so do you! It was definitely worth the trip from Montreal!
