    I had a lot of fun at this festival, I had a short film in their showcase. I'm proud to be in their loop and looking forward to watching the community grow.

    What a great festival -- with many more to come! Perfect for us Central Coasters, with wonderful opportunities for networking with other filmmakers and creators in the area. Thank you so much to CCEE for selecting our film The Ask for screening -- the first time in public!
