    Great festival win for Wildfire Outbreak UK. Would have loved to have been there. Having a physical award would have been even better. But I can afford one sadly.

    Rome International Movie Awards was a very positive experience for me as an independent filmmaker.
    I truly appreciated the support and recognition given to my film À jamais (Forever), as well as the professionalism and kindness of the festival team throughout the process.
    It is always encouraging to find festivals that continue to support independent and personal cinema from around the world.
    Thank you again to the jury and the entire team for this experience.
