From Our submitters

What Film submitters say about us !

I’m deeply honored that “The Trial” was selected as a Finalist in your remarkable festival! The festival is well-organized with great communication. May the festival continue to provide filmmakers a platform that fosters creativity and self expression.

Mitch Skolnik

Director

I’m a filmmaker from Puerto Rico and my experience with this festival was excellent. Even though it’s very far away from home, the team kept a constant communication through every step of the process. Their team is very professional and caring. I couldn’t be more happy about the fact that my shortfilm gets to be part of the 2020 edition. Congratulations to all the filmmakers !
