"Our film FATE'S SHADOW was honored to be a part of the very first Film Arts & Hearts Festival. We loved the fact that the Festival Directors initially planned a screening event as just a celebration for selected filmmakers. It was to simply showcase the collaborative efforts required to make a solid movie and to give filmmakers the opportunity to show support for each other. When they surprised certain films with awards afterwards, we were delighted! This festival goes beyond contests, and that is where the real heart is. We recommend Film Arts & Hearts. 

5 stars"

    The festival was wonderfully set up, everyone was extremely friendly, a great venue for indie films and upcoming filmmakers. Highly recommended. Lots of amazing talent, both films and music videos, which made the evening a blast. Thank you also for the Honorable Mention for my short film.
