Wild & Scenic Film Festival Sells Out; Is Huge Success

A big thank you to everyone who bought tickets to and came out to the Wild & Scenic Film Festival on September 1 to support MountainTrue and watch some great outdoor adventure and nature short films.

Despite the threat of rain earlier in the day, we had a sold out crowd of more than 300 attendees and clear evening skies. Sierra Nevada’s outdoor amphitheater was a perfect setting for a perfect evening.

Thanks to your generous support, we surpassed our fundraising goal for first outdoor festival in a new partnership with Sierra Nevada Brewery, and brought in over $6,000! We also enjoyed meeting new supporters, sharing the grounds with our partners who keep our public lands vibrant and accessible, and, of course, watching the inspiring films on the big screen under the stars.

We’d also like to thank all of this years sponsors: Sierra Nevada, Mountain Xpress, AE Global Media, Blue Ridge Energy Systems, BorgWarner Inc., FLS Energy, Holly Spring Farm, JAG and Associates Construction and Mosaic Community Lifestyle Realty. Also, a huge thanks to Asheville Bicycle Company for donating a cool, new bike for our raffle.

Thanks again for a great night and we hope to see you all next spring for the 2017 Wild & Scenic Film Festival.
