Was a Plaisure be part of Dance Source Houston.
I couldn't attend the event but all the communications were smooth and efficients, the team working for the festival is very kind and helpful.
I received a fee for the screening, I find this policy respectful for the artists.
I recommend it to you! :)

The festival truly appreciates and respects filmmakers.
Excellent and timely communication, reasonable entry fees, and a cash honorarium for accepted films makes B/ARN STORM DANCE FEST a stand out festival.
