With OAFF2020 coming up we thought we’d take you

With OAFF2020 coming up we thought we’d take you all down memory lane back to the beginning of this festival and go through some 2017 highlights.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Ottawa Adventure Film Festival started 3 years ago in 2017 after Mike McKay realized there was an opening in Ottawa to bring together a community of like-minded yet diverse individuals. His vision for OAFF was to create a space to celebrate our vibrant community and appreciate the world of adventure we have at our doorsteps. The festival launched in 2017 as a one day event but it sold out so quickly that it was expanded into a full weekend program at the historic Mayfair Theatre.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Films were submitted internationally and 13 of them were chosen to be shown in various categories throughout the festival. Awards were given to 4 films selected by our local judges.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
People of all different talents were brought together to bring OAFF 2017 to life. We were so lucky to have had Andrew Szeto create our awards, Ray Zahab for being our festival host, and @algonquincollege , @tourismepontiac , and @equatorcoffee for being some of our sponsors that have supported us throughout our entire journey.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Huge thank you goes out to everyone who was a part of OAFF 2017, we couldn’t have asked for a better first year of running the festival.

We often get asked if we have cash prizes for our award winning films. The answer is no. The reality is; we are a young festival and we are in a growing phase. We have small budgets to work on and we do this out of passion and hard work.  However, supporting young local filmmakers like @guimontalex will be our mandate in the coming years. We want to see more filmmakers in our region work to find great local stories like “Wetsuits for Hire”. We feel that our region has a lot to say and filmmakers like Alex deserve a spot on our screen. We hope this year is inspiring the next generation of local filmmakers to get their films submitted to us in the coming years.  BREATHTAKERS  CHANGEMAKERS GROUNDBREAKERS

Running into the home stretch of #OAFF2019. 3 more screenings at the Mayfair Theatre over the next 2 days.
While we often thank our Community Partners that support the event but it would be a massive oversight to not mention the Mayfair as part of the total package.  The iconic venue, sound, the history, and most of all, the staff and all they do to make these events work magically.

See you all at the Mayfair this weekend and make sure to say an extra thank you to their people if you see them.  BREATHTAKERS CHANGEMAKERS GROUNDBREAKERS  Presented by @five2nine_ca @mayfairtheatre
