    For a first year festival, this thing went so smoothly! Our already budding film scene is further enriched by the presence of this festival. I was honored to receive an audience choice award and all of the organizers were wonderful. There was a great opportunity to talk with other creatives afterwards, the theatre was perfect, and all proceeds went back to supporting new filmmakers. Thanks, WATIF!
