    It was a very good experience, very cooperative organizers, but I feel it was a little unorganized, they can surely do much better.

    I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for selecting my debut short film, "ATM CARD,". It's truly an honor, and I deeply appreciate Badrinath ji's kind words and well-wishes. This recognition means a lot to me, and I'm excited to continue my journey as a filmmaker. Thank you for this incredible opportunity.

    My worst experience at any festival so far. They want filmmakers to buy tickets to attend the festival. They also stopped playing my film midway as the venue was booked for another event and then I had to do a QnA with an audience that hasn't seen the ending of the film, and who bought tickets to watch it. .

    Only submit your film if you don't have any other place to screen it. Not bad if you want to network with actors, as a few of them do come for talks, but that you can do even without submitting your film.

    Truly a genuine film festival where the film Newton's Pendulum team could meet like minded creative people and do networking. The approachable nature of the organizers, friendly team and accessible judges made the film festival experience total worth it. For aspiring filmmakers this festival is highly recommended.
    Best wishes to everyone for the next year.

    Excellent communication and a lot of hard work has been put into this festival. I'm excited to see how it evolves, and thanks to the organizers for choosing "The Whole Lot" to represent American Cinema.
