    I was absolutely thrilled to be apart of this festival! Very very professionally organized and run fest. Communication was amazing! This was huge for me being a first time filmmaker and student filmmaker to finish 3rd overall in this fest! Not to mention I had the best trailer by a student filmmaker at this fest! Super humbling!
