    I had an amazing experience working with Paradise Film Festival. They are artists who curate an incredible slate of films, and they appreciate the finer details of filmmaking that a lot of other festivals miss.
    Thank you kindly for selecting our film “A Wonderful Way with Dragons” for Best Fantasy Film. I look forward to submitting to Paradise again!
