    This Festival had lots to share in the way of worthy selections. I was surprised when my name was called as the winner of the Best Student Narrative Category. There was lots of quality selections to choose from so I'm truly humbled by the recognition. They started on time. Interviewed winners and were overall entertaining in the process of presenting these awards. Wonderful Festival

    This is by far one of the best festivals to get your feet wet in the festival scene. It was a lot of fun to socialize with other filmmakers and share my film for the festival. Thank you all again so much for this experience.

    I was honestly shocked that I got picked for my selected category. This is my first time submitting anything I have done in a comp setting. The response I have received for my submitted work has boosted my spirits and now I'm ready to continue to grow and experiment with my upcoming work.
