We are very delighted to be selected as an agency with one Latin American film from our catalog. Please keep working on generating this exquisite programming for the audiences. @films.to.festivals

The program was out only a day prior to the event. No internal communication so filmmakers didn't know when or where films were to be housed. When the program was finally out, more than one film was wrongly labeled relating origin and/or authorship. Including mine. This definitely put a halt to any plans I had to travel to the fest. Timing, communication, and information accuracy could be improved.

Many Thanks for sharing and selecting my works, I truly appreciate this honor.
