    Thanks for selecting "Enter the Room" as into your festival. The communication was clear and concise and I received everything I hoped for and then some. I really appreciate the fact that this festival seems to care about its selected filmmakers much more than many other festivals that I've been apart of in general. I had a very good experience at this festival and will definitely consider submitting future projects to 6th Hollywood Shorts Reels-23.
