                In
                    what has quickly become a tradition, the idyllic resort village
                    of Saugatuck, Michigan comes alive each June with filmgoers,
                    actors, producers and directors sharing the excitement as
                    outstanding independent films from all over the United States
                    are screened in casual, intimate settings. Entertainment professionals
                    from Los Angeles, New York and Michigan created the Waterfront
                    Film Festival in 1999 to provide a "middle coast"
                    venue for independent filmmakers eager to show their work
                    to sophisticated audiences. Now in its seventh year, the festival
                    has succeeded with growing support and recognition each year,
                    and enthusiastic reviews from attendees. We invite you to
                    participate! 
                  Our festival
                    is a fully volunteer run non-profit organization. All donations
                    and proceeds from ticket and merchandise sales go directly
                    to the operational budget of the festival. All donations are
                    fully tax deductible and allow us to continue the tradition
                    of the festival and to bring quality films and filmmakers
                    to Michigan. We thank all sponsors and attendees for their
                    support!
