    APEX is such a great festival. This is my second project to get shown at APEX. The enjoyment and excitement of screening your film for film buffs and fellow filmmakers is always fun. Many thanks and looking forward to the next one!

    Apex was a wonderful event. Everyone was friendly and so talented. The short films and especially the music videos were all of great quality, so the fest lives up to its name. The Q&A panels included filmmakers, an Olympic wrestler singer-songwriter, and an astrophysicist. It was good to hear from such an interesting group, and to learn Tucson has such a diverse filmmaking community. You cannot miss this event.
