My film Earning a RIver got selected for the 2021 Transylvania Mountain Festival. I'm very grateful for the selection. Unfortunately I was not able to attend the festival but the festival send me an VIP access from the to the virtual part of the festival and was able to view the selected films during the festival. For all I've know the life screening went great despite the pandemic. Thank you!

Amazing experience with the Transylvania Mountain Festival !
Despite the covid situation, I had the impression to be really involved in the event.
Communication was perfect all along.
The online watching plateform that was set was ideal.
