    I managed to catch the end of the live feed, tech difficulties for the original date but was happy when I saw how many people were watching at the time, hopefully I will catch the next years one.

    Response from festival:

    Thank you. We work very hard to showcase the films to the maximum number of audiences possible, it feels nice when a filmmaker recognizes and appreciates that effort.

  • David Davidson

    I was happy to be selected . I may not have won any awards but selection makes you feel competitive. One of the festival’s to look for to have your work recognized.

    Reasonably priced, and enough categories to give us indie filmmakers some choices in entering (and of course, winning!). We'll be repeat customers on our next film effort.
