  • Dezmyre Volmeus

    I am super thankful to have had the opportunity to be part of this great festival. I am honored to receive an award for my film “ Lost and Found” for Best Trailer! As a first time Haitian filmmaker, I am encouraged to push for the vision to break traditions. Lastly, I love how the team responded to all of my inquiries so quickly and were extremely professional. The opportunity to connect with other filmmakers and investors internationally makes this festival so unique. Thank you again! I will definitely submit again!
