"The Maui Film Festival seems to have struck a perfect balance between
the needs of Maui's visitor industry and the Hollywood film industry.
Clearly, festival sponsors see the return from their support in the
throngs of people attending films and the Mainland press coverage."
— Christian Gaines, Director of Festivals, IMDb / Withoutabox

"The Maui Film Festival Serves Up Feasts, Stars and Enlightenment.
It’s where the seaside rules and studio execs retreat and where
there’s enough A-list presence on and off screen to make it
an island celebration deserving of its industry recognition."
— Harriette Yahr, IndieWire
