    Thanks for selecting "Bay For Blood" into your festival! I was unable to attend the event in person, but was really impressed by the prompt and detailed communication provided. Overall, I had a very good experience with this festival definitely consider submitting future projects to Idaho Horror & Pop Film Festival.

    We had a great experience with the Idaho Halloween and Horror Film Festival Awards! Excellent communication, they even sent us a video of the online introduction to our movie! My only regret is that we were unable to attend a live event. Looking forward to submitting again!

    This was a great festival with a lot to offer! Those I spoke to were friendly and efficient, I'm looking forward to more festivals.
    Deadlines and schedules were timely and well maintained.
    They were even willing to mail my award to me.
    Thank you for the opportunity!
