    The festival was held in a quaint little theatre in Hamilton, right downtown and played some incredible local and international genre films. The theatre itself offered a variety of beverages before and after the show. The theatre itself presented great picture and sound. Can't wait for next year!

    There is excellent communication with the festival organizer and the presentation of films, both on screen and in publicity, is done with the utmost care and skill. Little Nightmares is one of the best short film festivals in Canada and will certainly grow each year!
