    Thank you for selecting my film 'Nix's Symphony!' These guys really know how to celebrate film. Unfortunately I couldn't make it in person, but they kept me updated leading up to the festival. It's a real honor for my film to have been part of this festival! Hoping to enter my next film to the 2025 festival!

    I cannot say enough about this festival. Only in it's third year it offers the best creative forums in the industry and is run like a well oiled machine even just in it's 3rd year.
