    The Revolution Me Film Festival is well organized and very welcoming. Films play in a fabulous venue. Communication is solid. I am honored and thrilled our film played this festival and we hope to return. I loved meeting all the other filmmakers.

    Although I didn't get to attend the Revolution Me Festival — last-minute appointments made it virtually impossible for me — I had a blast communicating with Maria the festival director who was prompt with her responses/Google Forms and even notified me to let me know my short "We Regret To Inform You" won Best Comedy (brushing dirt off my shoulder for that one). Highly recommend Revolution Me and hope to be there next year!
