    The French Riviera Film Festival was a delight. The screening venue was cute and friendly. The inception was a delight, at a nearby gallery where the art was amazing and the layout perfect for the event.

    Overall, my entire experience with the FRFF was very positive. If I could give them ten stars out of five, I would. I plan on entering more films in the near future and I hope to attend in person next year. I was especially blow away by how well they professionally put together their, trailer, poster and website. The entire cast and crew of "HAIRBALL", was honored to be included in the trailer with all the other amazing projects. We are grateful for becoming a finalist in the FRFF. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners! It's truly an honor. Nancy O'Brien

    Merci d'avoir choisi notre film pour votre festival. Nous sommes honorés que "You Don't Deserve This" ait été choisi comme finaliste dans la catégorie Film expérimental. Si le renouvellement de mon passeport était arrivé plus tôt, j'aurais été dans le premier avion pour assister à tous les événements incroyables ! L'affiche du festival de cette année était également magnifique et j'en ai maintenant une copie encadrée sur mon mur. Excellentes mises à jour de communication et graphiques de médias sociaux.
