    I really enjoyed the festival. It was great to see so much dedication and effort from the volunteers who made it happen. Great hospitality, and the films were professionally presented. The aftershow Q and A with the local young film makers was a good opportunity to share ideas and connect with others in the community. I look forward to next year and hope many people will come out and support it.
