    This festival is a great idea. It aims to showcase Indie Films from Arizona. Unfortunately, present filmmakers were not acknowledged at the screening ( without our films there would be no content for the screening), and local celebrities and fundraising for good cause became the main part of the event. As a filmmaker, I was disappointed to not be provided any special seating or possibilities for networking. The organizers still have a lot to learn about film festivals.
