    Couldn't have nicer or more supportive. My first festival was Weird Fest and it was a great way to start!

    I only went to the first night of this festival and it was so delightfully curated. Such fun films and at 2.5 hours, it wasn't an over-whelming event. The festival is run with care and enthusiasm and the communication with the festival director was great. I'm really glad my short film BITTEN was selected to screen at Weird Film Fest, Thank you!

    to be fair - i could not attend the fest in person because i had a commitment in nyc
    but the director of the fest personally reached out to me to let me know how the screening went

    the fest is true to its name - it really only likes to screen weird
    so the weirder the better!
