The event had a supportive atmosphere which I appreciate greatly in an otherwise competitive industry. I'd like to give 10 stars for that. There were however very few people attending the event - in October at least - who were not the filmmakers themselves. Also the standard of the films in my opinion were not very high. It was an interesting selection of films and I think it's wonderful that CineShots gives an opportunity for zero budget / indie films to be screened - like they selected my film - but that comes with the risk of watching films after films without remembering any of them a day after. (Quite possibly including my film.) I would definitely recommend filmmakers to submit their film as it's a very rewarding and challenging experience at the same time to represent your work in front of an audience. Again, the organisers are very supportive and warm-hearted people who are film makers themselves and are able to have an open and sincere conversation about your film, not just a generic, empty chit-chat. Respect the vibe and keep CineShots a collaborative and supportive film hub! Raise the standard, raise the number!
