    Great movie review! However, I am very disappointed that I cannot see the work! I think he has a solid critical eye. I would like live screenings and online screenings to become a reality someday. A very good film festival!

    I am grateful for the award we received and the communication from the festival selection team for my short horror film, SHOES. I recommend anyone interested in submitting to do so as well!
