    This MITEE short film festival had a lot of heart and I was so glad to invite friends to see my film on the big screen at a local theater. There were about 40 films over two days. Winning the special jury award made it even more of a memorable experience. I hope they continue to search for good quality films.

    Overwhelming my gratitude and joy to express my sincere thanks to the organizers and judges for selecting my short film for an award at Mitee Short Film Festival. It is truly an honor and a privilege to have my work recognized among such talented filmmakers. A well-organized short film festival that includes workshops and discussions can indeed provide inspiring experience for both filmmakers. Offering cash prizes for winners adds an extra incentive for filmmakers to showcase their creativity and talent. It's great to see events that not only celebrate the art of filmmaking but also contribute to the growth and development of the filmmaking community.
