    This event exceeded my expectations and was grateful to be a part of it.

    I somehow missed that there was an awards ceremony in the email, I won an award and I wasn't there to accept it :( perhaps a formatting thing could've helped that but honestly was more of my mistake.

    This festival was extremely professional, and everything went as smoothly as could be. Everyone was very direct and clear, and all of the reps went above and beyond to make this festival a hit! Can't wait to see what they do in the future.

    Reps had been direct and transparent, and the perks offered were beyond my expectations. Interviews, screenings, and even an ad on the jumbo screen in Times Square; wow! Festival truly cares about making an impression and making sure your film garners the attention it deserves; highly recommended!
