    This was a great experience that just keeps on giving. Everyone I have interacted with has been professional and respectful. I feel like they really read and understood my work. Big recommendation for any screenwriter out there.

    The communication with the Toronto Feedback Film Festival was outstanding — friendly, fast, and truly supportive. With my film "A Film by Roland Wehap", I won the award for Best Short Film, which felt like hitting the jackpot in terms of what followed. I was thrilled to receive the wonderful video review they sent me — it’s great to see that the audience not only enjoyed the humor but also understood the story behind the comedy. For independent filmmakers, this festival is a real treasure trove of opportunities: from the detailed video review, written Q&A, and podcast interview to social media promotion and festival features. The way they bring films and filmmakers to the public is simply inspiring. A big thank you to the whole team!

    FEEDBACK Toronto Comedy Film and Screenplay Festival is a must for filmmakers because you get direct feedback that allows you to know if your film works. Do people get it? Does it engage conversation? All of these questions were answered and more. Thank you. And Thank you for recognizing the actors that put in a great performance. There is a lot of talent out there and to tip your hat to two of ours, makes us giddy.
