    I’ve been a participant of the ‘YES’ festival for several years. The festival has gained success with a growing a number of participants and the viewing of quality films. The locations are always respecting the needs of the attendees. My film “Seamless Journey” received an Honorable Mention Award. Very grateful to the organizer, programmers & judges for this prestigious gift. Continuous Success !
