    Thank you for awarding my film 'Nix's Symphony!' This was such an amazing festival to go to. The team's communication was outstanding and I felt like I was part of the festival from the very start. I was also impressed with the choice of theater - huge screen, fantastic sound, and comfortable seats. What a great way to showcase our region's teen talent!

    This was such an amazing festival, as it’s entirely teen-focused, and such a great opportunity to network with fellow teen filmmakers. The festival was well organized and had great attendance. Thank you for selecting “Ivy” to screen, I really hope to be back next year!

    We were honoured to be included in the festival- it was well organized and the actors in the film had a lot of fun being able to attend a local screening with their families. It was also great that the festival uses film students as the judges. Such a great experience:
