Patrons & Judges
‘I gotta tell you, I had more fun at Tropfest than I did at the Oscars… Tropfest is incredibly important. You’re going to see people who make movies for Tropfest go on to win Academy Awards, there’s no doubt about it.’
George Miller, Oscar-Winning Director of 'Happy Feet', Tropfest Patron and Judge
'The most dangerous thing about Tropfest (for the film industry anyway) is that it proves that a 7 minute movie can be as entertaining as a 90 minute one.'
Malcolm Gladwell, Best-selling Author ('The Tipping Point', 'Blink'), Journalist ('New Yorker Magazine') and Tropfest Judge
'This is a cultural experience like I’ve never had.'
Russell Crowe, Actor, Tropfest Patron and Judge
