    They were great! It was an honor to win for my short screenplay! I couldn’t physically be there but they had me FaceTime in to the awards show to talk to the audience. Amazing!!!

    Such a great festival! I was honored that my screenplay, Hey, Girlie!, received the award for Best Feature Script. The festival team was wonderful and communicated well. I look forward to submitting again in the future!

    Working with the B&B International Film Festival was a truly memorable experience. The team’s professionalism and expertise were evident from the very beginning. They treated us—and our film—with genuine respect, making us feel that our work and our presence really mattered. It was clear they understood the commitment and passion that went into our project, and their attention to detail was exceptional. Thanks to their dedication, we felt like A-list filmmakers every step of the way. On behalf of myself and my team, thank you for making us feel so welcome and for delivering such an outstanding experience.

    I've won two awards from this festival, so their taste in screenplays is impeccable...

    Seriously, Miles and his staff make writers feel valued, and it keeps us going...

    He tries to answer any email within a day, and his work has made B & B one of the premier festivals to enter.

    I am honored to be recognized by B & B....Thank you, Miles!
