A great experience was had at the film festival. It is an excellent place to network and watch amazing, layered films. I deeply appreciate having been selected as "Best Writer" for No Pressure. Thank you!

Fantastic Film Festival!!! The staff is very focused on celebrating the achievements of the artists they have selected. Mark is a delight of a human, whose heart for filmmakers shines through every interaction. The talk back was wonderfully moderated. And networking with the other filmmakers was fruitful. Lots of great new friends! Oh, and our short, How the Rose Reaches, was awarded Best in Fest. Thank you so much team at Paramount!!
