    It is a great festival that showcases films and animations for young audience. I think it is very important nowadays. I wasn't able to attend the festival myself, but I am sure all the kids were glad to watch my beautiful animation "Chasing a Dream". I was always dreaming of Hollywood, and LA International Children's Film Festival allowed me to come true my dream =)) Thanks a lot!!! The communication with the festival was fast and easy. I really hope that someday I will be able to present my new film in person!
