Brilliantly run virtual film festival with a lot of love and care put into it. This is the best festival of its kind, championing ingenuity and imagination of filmmakers creating during quarantine. The podcasts interviewing filmmakers was a great way to learn more about the selected films and their creators, however, if I would suggest one thing, it would be a moderated group zoom with the filmmakers so there's a chance to connect with them "face-to-face" like you would at in-person festivals. I'd also suggest the shorts be organized in themed blocks rather than one, 4+ hour YouTube video.
