  Love it !!! Love it !!!

  One of the absolute highlights of my year. Our team has grown over the years and now includes plenty of people who have no formal training in film making but have learned the craft through competing in DV Mission. The way the festival celebrates everyone who takes part, whatever their level of skill is a joy, and it continues to inspire and create opportunities for further generations of film makers. Long may it continue!

  An amazing competition, hosted and attended by an amazing community. Keep going Roy & Team DVMission, you’re doing amazing stuff.

  Our team entered as an international team, and despite us not being able to be present on site, the hosts organized a live stream event to be able to watch the ceremony. We felt like we were there. Overall, an amazing challenge, super festival, impeccable organization, great people and fantastic cinema artists! Would definitely be part of it in the future as well!
