    This was a great festival. Fatimah and her staff did an amazing job with this festival. Everything from the acceptance notifications to award ceremony was planned so well. Great networking, Great location, and she even provided snacks for the audiences. I would definitely recommend this festival to any filmmaker.

    ( sorry if I misspelled names and for not remembering some of your names....)
    Just a quick thank you for what you pulled off with the festival. During these trying and dangerous times in dealing with this d*** virus you guys managed to put on a very nice festival. Professionally done and wonderfully laid back and fun. I know once this virus is hopefully under control it will be bigger and better. The quality of the films chosen was seriously competitive anywhere! These filmmakers had some truly serious talents and the judges were tuned into that.
    Future filmmakers should know this is a festival for your film. Don’t hesitate just enter.
    Thanks again for having us this year.
    We are ready to take a shot next year. Can’t wait!

    As the last director of the night was in his Q and A segment ( I won’t put him on the spot by using his name ...) he said something that stood out to me and to all there I would suspect.....” keep pushing.”
    And he’s right. We must all do just that.

    So, keep pushing!
