    I would happily recommend this festival to anyone. We're honored that our short film "Alisa" was an official selection and even won some awards. Many thanks all the way from Finland!

    I was lucky enough to have my short film "The Wedding Guest" screen at the "Midwest Horror Fest" and the organizers were incredibly warm and provided terrific communication.
