    I had a great experience with Poinciana The communication was outstanding and the festival organizers went to great lengths to insure the best version of my film was screened at the festival.

  • Very pleased to win Best Short Screenplay Award for This Cold, Still Place. The website is very nice and easy to navigate and updated quickly. I wish I was able to attend in person, however, this type of Award will lead me to great success so I have more ability to travel worldwide in the future. Thank you very much! - MIKE from mikemessier.com

    This is indeed a great film festival. Not only is the organization perfect, but the service is wonderful as well. We enjoyed being part of it.

    Very friendly, incredibly helpful - a little late on their notifications and they don't give laurels for official selections (which is a shame as in the screenplay category they were only 3 finalists) but other than that, a great festival, warm and friendly and I would recommend to others without hesitation..
