Thank you to all LAGFF patrons who took the time to answer the surveys distributed at the festival and included in our newsletter.
We read every word patrons shared with us and we are grateful for not only the praise, but also the constructive criticism. 

LAGFF's goal is to be a world-class festival, and with your critical feedback, we will improve and strengthen this vital community event. We look forward to applying our patrons' great ideas at future festivals. In the meantime, enjoy a bit of afterglow from LAGFF 2012 participants and patrons.

"Dear Los Angeles Greek Film Festival,
Thank you for the honor and privilege to participate in this year's 2012 Festival with my short film. Your hospitality and tireless work in organizing this prestigious event is admirable, particularly the quick resolve to historic "sold out" ticket sales for the premiere of my film "Sacred Whispers" at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. Your solution to hold a second screening satiated the crowd and was most generous and kind. On behalf of my film "Sacred Whispers", my cast, crew and production staff, I thank you for sharing this important triumph with me and wish us both continued success." With appreciation,
Constantinos Isaias
2012 Filmmaker, SACRED WHISPERS

"As always, I really enjoyed working with you and your team.
Your hands on personal touch and attention to detail made all the difference. As you well know it's those millions of "never ending" details that people remember and are what matter. You attended to everything with such ease that I got a kick out of watching you make sure the experience was seamless and enjoyable for everyone involved. What a blessing you are to so many people! Your efforts are appreciated. I hope to have the pleasure of working with you again soon. Thanks!"

"It's always my pleasure and honor to support LAGFF. I look forward to next year. I had many people tell me how wonderful things were this year and how friendly everybody was!  And that they look forward to next year." - Alexandros Staikos

"I wanted to congratulate you and all the LA Greek Film Festival staff and volunteers for producing such a delightful festival.  It was a pleasure to meet you, and hopefully we'll get to see you again for more Greek events (my wife was in heaven all weekend long - her father was from Lesvos, we're Orthodox, and she's a Byzantine iconographer, as well as someone who helped with restoration efforts on the frescoes for a monastery church on Lesvos)."

I should say 'living' ...the festival really paid off as the events ran smoothly, the film choices were of quality and your warm hospitality was infectious to all who attended the festival. You made those of us from northern California feel very welcome and I - as well as Georgia and Andonia - really appreciated all your efforts. Please pass our thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the festival a big successful!!! On to the Seventh Annual...with a breather in between!"
Many thanks!

"Congratulations on the fantastic 6th Annual Los Angeles Greek Film Festival.  I had an incredible time meeting so many creative, artistic filmmakers.  The event was one of the classiest I've attended (and I go to many festivals) - and you and Craig did an amazing amount of work to create such a wonderful event for the California Community!  The films were terrific, the discussions wonderful, the parties - dazzling!  I'm running out of superlatives. . . I had THE BEST TIME!!! Thank you so much for all the work you do for the arts!  I can't wait until next year - and if ever I can be of any assistance, let me know. Warmest regards and here's to continued success!" -Larry Zeiger

"We would like to thank you and the others who set up and ran the LA Greek Film Festival. There were so many worthy activities that we wore ourselves out trying to keep up." - Dr. Thymios Carabas
