    10 minute Film Festival was great! Loved the online screening and the host was very professional with how he ran it. Loved the films and the streaming was overall really really great. After being apart of a lot of online fests this year, the streamline process of 10 minute film fest was clean and only had one glitch (which is amazing!) Highly recommend to anyone who is looking to submit to
