    I was honoured with my film screening at this great film festival, but unfortunately I could not attend. I hope that next year, I'll be able to be there in person! Thanks for making student films important!

    This festival was so much fun! Although my film did not win its category, it was a great trip for our video class and I look forward to attending again!
