The RHIFF has grown since Zeb and Sylvia Moore of The Magic Roundabout Theatre Company and team of volunteers first established it in 2013. In these short unfunded years, it has become a respected platform for premieres, networking and award incentives for visual art as well as filmmaking. The primary purpose is the promotion of relevant industry talent in the Mid-West overseas, with special regard to Cannes and California.
