  • A very small yet charming festival. The Q&A afterward is very thoughtful and it feels like you can really get to know the thoughts of the filmmakers and the work they put into their pieces. It's a little hard to network because of the small size, but regardless, thank you for selecting "Natural Selection" as the Best Student Film for your fall 2024 festival!
