  • "Rachel Irene Wilke's 'The Most Beautiful.' is our grand winner of the entire round, a film that from its electrifying opening shot depicts the most mundane type of horror any human being, particularly a woman, can live through. Flawlessly executed by a woman student director and her team, please do check out this simple yet bigger than life film."

    Adrian Perez, Lonely Wolf Film Festival Director

  • "It is beyond rare to find art that truly saves humanity in today’s world. Rachel holds a mirror up to human nature that is flawlessly executed in the most simple and purest form. She is a force to be reckoned with. I am honored to have had the privilege to be a part of her purest creations. I try to seek out other artists in a similar vein as her because there is no one else like her. "

    Madeline Blomdahl, Actress

  • "I have worked with Rachel on numerous projects for over 8 years now and have watched her grown into an auspicious storyteller that I revere. Rachel puts every ounce of her passion into the projects she pursues. She not only takes charge, but she invites the team she forms around her to collaborate."
