    Although this is a small festival at the moment... I'm very happy that I attended the Live Screening. The organizers were very hospitable and welcoming, and I think it's wonderful~ that they're creating a community event like this one. Thank You to Arturo & Everyone There! It was a pleasure to meet you all!! xoxo Liz Taylor

    I love thematic festivals with clear messages that stand apart from the rest. And this little festival is definitely one of them.

    I was surprised to learn that for their 2015 edition they only accepted 13 films out of 800 submissions. That's an insane 1.6% acceptance rate! Arturo Lizade, the festival director, told me that it had been their most difficult selection process ever.

    Speaking of Arturo, he was great in maintaining communication and updating me on all the steps of acceptance. I unfortunately could not attend because of scheduling conflicts, but was nonetheless thrilled to have been part of their very selective line-up. Arturo was even kind enough to later mail me my acceptance certificate and awesome custom-designed collectors t-shirt.
