    5 STARS! As an artist, I create projects that make a difference and shed light on subject matters deserving of more attention from society and from the filmmaking community. We are thrilled that the judges at Franklin County International Film Festival recognized the importance of including our film STRONGER THAN PRETTY! It's such an honor! This festival is organized and communicative, and I plan to submit all my upcoming films to this wonderful platform! Thanks so much!

    This was a great film festival for amateur local filmmakers who are just getting into it. I highly recommend it for them. It's a small venue, but they do a have red carpet experience, and also good networking. They had drinks snacks and pizza for lunch. I wish them the best of luck with their festival, great staff members to!
