    A well-organized and overall high-quality film festival. If you're looking to network and get your project out into the world, Southeast Regional is the festival you don't want to miss. See you for Year 6!

    I had an excellent time at the Southeast Regional Film Festival. All the events, from the opening night party to the awards luncheon at Maggiano's Little Italy were well planned and wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Jessica and found her to be kind and highly professional. Thank you for honoring my screenplay, "Cat Island" with the "Best Coming of Age" award. I enjoyed the movies, and the networking. What a great experience!
