  • Daniel Gönczy

    To be honest, while entering this festival I was a bit skeptical regarding the worthiness of submitting to an online festival (as you know Youtube and Vimeo are free). However, I discovered it was made in a very fun manner and make you really feel in a festival on your computer and not in a streaming platform. Even though I am not sure it has a large audience, I enjoyed partaking in this online festival very much and see the curated shorts by the FFTG Team. I would recommend it a try!

    I couldn’t get anyone to email back after the awards were cancelled. They selected my screenplay, had me film a video and then heard nothing. I even reached out on Facebook. ☹️
