    The adaptability displayed by the team in making this festival a reality during these trying times is impressive. The warmth and enthusiasm of Sal, Ellen and Anthony made participating a pleasure. We are extremely honored that The First Responder was recognized as the best drama short and look forward to working with you again.

    This was a pleasure! I got to work with a great group of down to earth people who love film and care about film-makers. It's not easy to set up a festival during CoVid and they made this event a success.

    My film won best comedic short and guess what? The publicity from that led me to sign with a sales agent and get a distribution deal. Awesome!

    All the Best,
    Writer, Producer, Director - David Bellantoni
