Wonderful Festival. These people love shortfilms and it shows. The awards ceremony was a lot of fun and their hospitality beyond courtesy!

I've participated at this festival before over the years, and was delighted to be selected again with my latest film. Oddly, though, their festival site now pops up as a "security risk" on my browsers, so I was unable to see how the festival went, including the results of competition. Their facebook page has also not been updated since the close of the festival. Hope all is well with their organization.
