    A great festival for inspiring talent. As a young aspiring writer, it was an honor to be nominated and that New Vision saw something in my screenplay. I will cherish that always.
    The people attending were golden, passionate about their work whilst being so supportive of other people’s successes. This festival has such a positive mindset and I hope it will continue to do so in the future!
