    It's a really wonderful festival to screen at - I should know I've screened three films there. So nice to see them on the big screen in a cinema and the audiences really seem to love and embrace everyone's work. Joy is lovely to deal with and does a great job of communicating with filmmakers and marketing the festival.

    Such a wonderful film festival and such a joy to be selected. I adore its message and it was such a perfect home and our Australia premiere for our short film GOOD FOR ONE FREE HUG. I also love their mission of wanting more diversity in cinema and something I often have and want in my own films that I create. I look forward in much more successes to this great festival and plan to send more of my work!

    Here's to Joy!
