    Thank you so much for screening my short film Better Anything. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend, but I was told everything went great! Phantasmagoria is a brilliant festival, and I can't wait to attend with my next project. Thanks guys!

    I sadly couldn't make it for the screening of my short UNDERTONE, but my wife attended in my stead and had nothing but great things to say about Phantasmagoria and Marc the Festival Director.

    It was a delight to win Best Short Film and I'll definitely be submitting my next work!

    This was an awesome horror/genre film festival in the U.K. Great communication, a cool venue. This is what Indie film is about!

    We were gutted we couldn't attend in person. But the communication was great throughout and I heard from others that the screening went like a charm.

    An absolute privilege to be part of this wonderful festival. Mark and Helen was so welcoming and it was fabulous to network with other filmmakers and film fans. We really hope to be back next year.
    Thrilled to have won ‘Best New Feature and our new laurels look wonderful on our poster! The friendliest film festival in Wales, without a doubt!
