    Her şeyiyle eşsiz bir deneyimdi. Gerek festival ekibi gerek düzenlenen etkinlikler gerek ilgi alaka mükemmeldi. Yeni insanlar tanıyıp muhteşem işlere şahitlik ettiğimiz paha biçilemez bir festivaldi. Ülkemizde böyle festivallerin olması büyük onur ve mutluluk bizler için.

    Altın Koza ya katılmak önemli bir deneyimdi, orada sanat dünyamızın önemli isimleriyle aynı ortamda bulunmak ve onlardan bilgi ve tecrübe edinmek çok önemli bir fırsattı. Türkiye'nin uluslararasına açılmış en önemli festivalidir.

    Bütün bir hafta boyunca özenle seçilmiş filmleri ücretsiz izlemenin yanı sıra sektörün önde gelen isimleri ile tanışmak, tecrübelerini dinlemek çok faydalı idi. Özellikle kısa film kategorisine ve kısa film yönetmenlerine verilen değeri hissettiren bir festival oldu. Emeği geçen herkese sonsuz teşekkürler...
