    The only drawback to this festival, and this is unavoidable and no one’s fault, is that I had to choose between screenings that were running concurrently. I’m sure I missed out on some wonderful films by having to choose, but I’m so happy for all the filmmakers that got to have their films shown.
    The setting was beautiful, the staff was warm, welcoming and helpful, and everything was very well organized, from the invitation to the selfie station to the closing night. So grateful for the opportunity to attend.
