  • Trial&Error Acting

    Hello Best Director Award Festival Team,
    It was great honour for me that my short film on Covid-19 awareness got selected as "Finalist" under "Best Director Award Category"

    But I would like to give one very important suggestion to festival organizers that if the could provide Certificate for Finalist candidates with candidate Name, their project name & under which category they have been selected for example Best Director or Best Short Film etc, then it would work as a great resume for the participants and will help in boosting up their moral & as well as will be very helpful in promoting Festival also.
    Kindly have a look.
