    Very honored to have my film chosen as the Best Student Film of the 2022 fest! Unfortunately I was not able to join this year, but the virtual communication and hospitality from the festival, whether it be through e-mail or on Instagram is some of the best I've experienced from any festival! Would love to submit again next year as well as actually attend! Eager to see this festival grow!

    Amazing festival in it's third year. I've had two films participate so far and hope to submit for the third year in a row. Great talent participating and amazing networking opportunity for film makers.
