    This festival had great communication and it gave new life to a film that had not been screened in a little while. Thank you BWFF and Nova Scotia.

    This was a terrific film festival. I was lucky enough to have my short film "The Bump In My Nose" screen at the "Breaking Waves Film Festival" and they were very organized and provided terrific communication.
