    I was selected with the music video "Splatterhead" and found it amazing to participate in the festival. The communication was great and although I couldn't have gone, I followed it all through Facebook and it was great! Thanks for the opportunity!

    We got selected with our short film "Snack" to this lovely festival but we weren't lucky to join the festival. The communication was very good and we hope to partecipate to future editions.
