This is a wonderful festival! It is run by people who truly care about the filmmakers and all of the contributing members of the production. The communication is outstanding, as they took time to write to me personally and answer any questions. And the event was well orchestrated resulting in a really fun night for everyone. This is a great festival run by compassionate and sensitive people who make everyone feel very valuable and welcomed. I highly recommend this festival.

This is a fun festival! We had the most enjoyable experience. The screening was amazing at the Dolby Screening Room, the Red Carpet was so very organized and we had the opportunity to network with other filmmakers. Our guests also had a lot of fun. Thank you so much for having us.

Dear Shawn,
Thank you so much for your kind words to our film festival
"The Unhealer" is a very well done film well directed and acted with a powerful message about discrimination and bulling
Hope THE UNHEALER will keep impacting the audience and winning in other film festivals!!
