    So great to be selected and screened at this festival as I'm a Wolves Alumni. The screening was full and the guys all have a real passion for what they do there.
    Great networking opportunities and a positive experience all round.

    What a dream festival! A huge shout-out to Arun and Gurjant for giving us such a warm welcome for our first trip to Wolverhampton. The Screen School was great, loved the intros and we got to see some really impressive shorts. The awards ceremony was also wonderful and brilliantly organised. The space was beautifully decked-out, we had great hosts, special guests and delicious samosas and pizzas to boot. We also got to network with the other filmmakers. And to top it all, Carlotta received a nomination for ‘Best Actress’ and our film ‘Fighting For Rachel’ won an ‘Honourable mention’ which we were absolutely over the moon about. Thank you Wolverhampton FF! Highly recommend!

    I have so much love for this festival. The communication was second to none throughout. The films were of an excellent standard and I was privilaged to have my film screen alongside them. The award ceremony was one of the most supportive ones I've been to. They even laid on loads of free food! The icing on the cake was winning the Best New Filmmaker Award and getting to chat and connect with so many filmmakers. Highly recommend this festival and I will be submitting again next year.

    Absolutely brilliant festival! So much incredible talent in the Midlands that I had the pleasure of watching. Arun and Gurjant did such an amazing job over the festival and created an awesome networking space for creatives. Thanks for having our film 'The Space Between' in your line up and for taking home 'Honorable mention' as well as 2 other nominations! An incredible festival that I will definitely be returning to.
