    Meath is always a treat. A warm and relaxed vibe to network and meet and chat to other filmmakers. A thoughtfully put together programme. Great Q&A sessions. Friendly festival team, who also happen to be filmmakers themselves, so they know what's up! Solstice Arts Centre and Navan are always great to visit too. Festivals like this make me want to keep making films so I can come back!
