    The opportunity to screen But Tomorrow at the inaugural BGR! Film Fest was epic! Not only did I feel supported by the festival team and founder, Beverly Bond, but I built new relationships with powerful, talented filmmakers that will last well into the future. Thank you for having so many members of our crew on that stage. We hope to make it in future years.

    BGR! Film Fest was amazing! It was truly an honor for our film (Sundays in July) to be included in the inaugural festival. I look forward to screening more films there in the future! Bravo!!
