    As this was my first Mojo or film festival entry I'm unsure as to what to say, as I wasn't at the event I seen it on facebook.
    1/ Overall I can't complain in overall rating.
    2/ Quality N/A so i'll give it 6 stars.
    3/ Value is was free to submit when I did so 6 out of 6.
    4/ Communication was 5 out of 6.
    5/ N/A not to say it was bad or anything like it, just I didn't see it.
    6/ Networking, well I'm new to Mojo so networking is all down to me so i'll give this a 5 out of 6 because I did see a lot of them on the Social Network Networking .

    Over all as i'm new to FilmFreeway I would submit to Mojo Italia no problem, like I said I'm very happy with what Iv seen.

    Mojo Italia was an incredible experience for me! My short "Opening The Door" was in the last three finalists in the Italian Category and won a special mention. Amazing!
