Festival website and social media is not updated since 2020. I paid $90 for three categories and never found out my outcome despite getting an "official selection."

It's a terrible festival, it's not clear where the films were screened, who watched them, who won awards. It seems like an attempt to make money. Filmfreeway is full of this kind of festivals unfortunately.
