Reception

One thing is clear, the festival circuit has to be taken back for those it was originally meant to serve: filmmakers and audiences. MMA is a group whose mission is so in line with what needs to be done in this ever-changing landscape.

— Sandy Cioffi, director of Sweet Crude, quoted on website of Maverick Movie Awards[26]

The Maverick Movie Awards puts credibility and intrigue back into the word 'maverick.'
