    Great Festival! The people were super nice. I liked the fact that the workshops went on while they prepped for the next screening. I didn't miss much. Good networking.

    My team was very pleased to be a part of this festival. Screening in the Made in Georgia category was especially special considering that was such a big part of why/how I made my film. The entire block was solid by all accounts. The organization of the event and the hospitality was on point. Thanks specifically to Robyn Hicks and her team.

    This was my first film festival and I had the best time! I met a lot of incredible people in the industry and learned a ton about my craft as a writer and director.

    The whole staff was lovely and super welcoming. There’s a real community feel since many of the volunteers are students, and families of those students come out to support the fest. We could feel the care put into the setup. The screening was in a nice campus theater, and it started on time and played without tech issues. I loved being part of the festival and recommend submitting.
