    Grateful to the festival voters for the 'Best Direction' award. The festival genuinely creates a plethora of opportunities for filmmakers and their works to amplify and reach places. The communication, the value, the warmth, all of it compiled to one of my best experiences so far.
    Much love and respect for Allison and the entire team FU5FF. Soar higher!

    Great film festival and had the honor of being awarded Best Short Film for my short film "Routine" - it has helped so much that we were able to make a feature sequel called "Staycation" (now "Apocalypse Death Party" for distribution and on streaming platforms). Thank you so much!
