    FHFF was a fantastic experience. The Festival is well-organized, well-attended and the venue was a perfect fit. Chris was a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to submitting more films in the future.

    Chris Leto is a great organizer! The Florida Horror Film Festival was a welcoming experience at a very comfortable venue with a high-quality screening. The programming really concentrates on bringing true horror films that properly fit the genre. This festival is well worth the entry fee and the travel to attend in person. Excellent!

    Thanks for showing our film, "Alexis!" Always a pleasure with anything by Innovative Films. They work hard to fill the theaters, keep the filmmakers up to date, and give a sense of family to the festival in general.
