  • We had a truly wonderful time interacting with the NOX Film Festival staff - preparing for the festival, delivering our materials and participating as selected filmmakers for our Uruguay Premiere, with our film "Eraser" from the Love Project series. It was a pleasure to promote NOX on social media, as their event information was clear, their visual branding and logos were vibrant and compelling, and the festival team's communication style was always so friendly, supportive and encouraging throughout the process. We absolutely hope to submit again in the future, and are so grateful to have been selected! Thank you so much - Muchas Gracias! Hugs from Japan + The Love Project Team
