ANNIE RONEY, founder of ro*co films

"Although Caren and Jennifer thanked me in a myriad ways for coming and bringing our two documentary films, it is me who has to thank THEM.  Not only is San Miguel de Allende, the city, a treasure and a gift by itself, Caren and Jennifer have created an enthusiastic  documentary film-loving community that is a pleasure to engage.  The theatre in the Biblioteca is stunning.  Surrounded by rock walls and filled with a vibrant audience, the experience of screening our films was only outdone by the pleasure of becoming part of this community, albeit too briefly.  We’ll have to find a way to come back!"



Jonathan Walls, co-director/editor of
PLAYING FOR CHANGE:
PEACE THROUGH MUSIC

“My time at Reel Docs in San Miguel was one of the most colorful, relaxing and engaging experiences I've had while screening "Playing For Change: Peace Through Music." The audiences both nights were very engaging and brought an inspiration back in me,
reminding me of my love for documenting life and sharing it with people."

                  


COMMENTS ON
IN A DREAM

"Few of us are capable of emotional honesty, particularly when it comes to the people we hold most dear and even those who
are seem to be unable to tolerate the self involvement and delusional world that some artists live in. In her male dominated world,
Julia did not take a back seat to any and yet was able to see them all clearly, love them anyway, and
provide them whatever they needed. Julia is my new hero!"



LInda Hattendorf, filmmaker of
THE CATS OF MIRIKITANI

“The beauty of San Miguel de Allende is equaled only by the warmth of its people. A gem of a city blossoming
with life and art, this is a community like no other I've experienced. A wonderful place for
filmmakers and artists of all kinds. Magical things happen here!"



Kelly Anderson, filmmaker of
EVERY MOTHER'S SON


"The audiences at ReelDocs were among the best I have encountered. The discussions about my film, and the
tough issues it raises about police misconduct and the need for accountability, were sharp, informed and empathetic.
I highly recommend screening in San Miguel de Allende at ReelDocs."





Bonnie Burt, filmmaker of
STRONG LOVE:

 "A full house, a wonderfully receptive audience, interesting questions: all in a beautiful
and fascinating colonial Mexican town."






Gabriela Bohm, filmmaker of
THE LONGING: THE FORGOTTEN
JEWS OF SOUTH AMERICA

"Thank you for putting together such a wonderfully heartfelt documentary series.
The enchantment of the city combined with the warmth of the people creates a
powerful mix rarely experienced. Viva Reel Docs!"



Suzanne Warlick, filmmaker of
MATCH & MARRY

"It was a great pleasure presenting Match & Marry at REEL DOCS.
It is such a beautiful and charming environment. I believe that Jennifer Posner and Caren Cross are
providing such a wonderful program by bringing in documentaries and filmmakers. They are not only
benefiting the children of San Miguel but they are nourishing the enthusiasm and curiousity of people
who enjoy entertaining and educational programming."



Sam Oliver, filmmaker of MOJA MOJA

“My experience screening moja moja at Reel Docs was fantastic. The audience
laughed and cried in all the right places and a great Q & A session afterwards
brought about some very interesting questions.”
