    I cannot say enough about the EdiPlay International Film Festival. My film did not have a large budget or big stars, and yet I ended up a winner. Their communication was terrific; helpful and prompt. Your submission fee to the EdiPlay International Film Festival is some of the best money you will spend on Film Freeway. It certainly was for me!
