    A niche festival who kept you constantly informed with courtesy and clarity. Honored to win two awards for "Home to the Hangers" and receive stylish certificates for both.

    BlissFest333 did a great job creating a platform to share independent films. I submitted a project called The Rolling Roland Show and it fit in great into this festival. I was able to watch the livestream and interact with other filmmakers as it was screening. Highly recommend, the festival was also very responsive and dedicated to showcasing expression in the medium of film.

    Great fest! So enjoyed being a part of the first year of the Poetry Film Festival, and was such an honor being the featured poet/filmmaker for year one! And to be showcased among SO MANY amazing films and talented filmmakers was equally humbling and inspiring! Thanks to all the team for hosting this wonderful event.

  • Thank you, Blissfest333 Poetry Film Festival, for honoring "Marble Me Free" with the "Best Music Award." Our animated film inspired by Starlit Swan's poem, "The Marble Block" is on the "dark night of the soul journey" through physical and emotional pain. Starlit, who has Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, has given a gift to the world through her poetry.
