"It might have been the setting or it might have been the participants but there is no doubt in my mind that we all discovered gold in them there hills last month. You have hit upon the right recipe, combing the perfect portions of the practical with the right amount of imagination (and a little magic thrown in) to produce a festival from which everyone emerges deeply touched and thoroughly satisfied."

"I feel really lucky to have been involved in such a gathering as the Digital Storytelling Festival. School teachers rarely get to indulge in cutting edge technology, emerging aesthetics, and the company of lyrical minds. The Crested Butte experience helps me keep my head in the clouds-like a digital "Valhalla"-while I'm lumbering around life at sea level"
- Susan Abdulezer Educator

"Just wanted to say "THANKS" for putting on such a good time! I had a blast! I showed up Monday to the boot camp, not having a really good idea of what I was getting into or why. But now I've got my first "story" under my belt, and am ready to do more! I'm so looking forward to next year."
