    African American Women in Cinema (AAWIC) virtual film festival was fantastic! Warm , inclusive, and welcoming. The festival offered an important space - recognizing the diaspora, alternative voices and is genre friendly. Thank you for including "InVade" in this year's program!

    The African American Women In Cinema Film Festival is always impressive. Terra Renee’ and her team orchestrate an amazing festival.

    In addition to the film screenings, the festival offers industry expert insight and nuggets for filmmakers, directors and producers. The jewels I have received from the festival talk backs have been incredible.

    Attending the festival is great; being officially selected to present my film is awe-inspiring, knowing I must continue the work, I so enjoy.
    Thank you AAWIC FF!
