About the Mountain Maryland Film Festival
History
The Mountain Maryland Film Festival was created to spotlight the art of filmmaking in our community, connect with storytellers from near and far, and introduce new voices to the rich culture and inspiring landscapes of Western Maryland. Through film, we aim to spark thought, share joy, reflect loss, and challenge perspectives: One story at a time.
