By the 1940s，New Hope's name in the arts had become legendary for many writers of plays，directors and actors who traveled through its busy streets on weekends and holidays. In response to this cultural environment，businessman and writer D．F. Whipple decided to set up the New Hope film festival in 2009. Whipple gathered a group of artists who shared his love for discovering and encouraging independent filmmakers，many of whom will show their films at its exhibitions.
