  • Great festival. Refreshing to go see a day of films where all are quality and entertaining. The festival is really well run and again, it's nice that they do it right with Q&A's following the screenings. Dan does a great job as host and the venue is perfect for screening independent films. All in all a great experience and I will happily re-submit as a filmmaker, but also attend as a fan.
