"Since 1997, Washingtonians have been marking their calendars for the event that WRC/Channel 4's Arch Campbell has called, 'the best event in Washington during August.' For ten nights, almost one hundred thousand moviegoers head over for a free movie on a giant screen under the stars. And the purpose of the Festival is to raise funds for the charities at NIH…. The Outdoor Film Festival has grown to the point where people call us before scheduling their vacations!"

Randy Schools, President and CEO, Recreation & Welfare Association, National Institutes of Health

"Watching a movie outdoors brings back the days of the drive-in era and will surely have nostalgic appeal to families throughout our community."

Gary McCollum, Vice President and General Manager, Cox Communications Northern Virginia, host of "Cox Movies Under the Moon."
