MOFF 2015 was a success!

1 - MOFF was an outlet for outdoor filmmakers' creativity:

Independent filmmakers from all over, but most significantly from Maine itself, are using MOFF as an important outlet for their work: In 2015, over 30 Mainers submitted outdoor films to our festival!

 2 - MOFF brought outdoor film programing to Maine people, where they are:

Through the MOFF tour, hundreds of Mainers had the chance to attend a real film festival in their area - in 2015 MOFF toured such bustling towns as Rangeley, Ogunquit, Medway, Falmouth, Freeport, Carrabassett, South Portland, Portland and The Forks.

 3 - MOFF’s proceeds went support youth in the outdoors:

In 2015, MOFF raised almost $1,700.00 for Teens to Trails, a Brunswick-based non-profit which supports Maine high school outing clubs with cash grants, organizational support and programming.

With those above accomplishments we are on track for serving our mission of "inspiring expression and celebrating the active outdoor community."
