Thank you Rachel and team for screening DIGITAL AFTERLIVES at Midwest RAD Fest. We so appreciated your interest in, and active support of, our film!
Best in the Midwest, hands down.
We were honored to have Witches Cradle included in the Midwest RAD Festival. The festival’s commitment to showcasing innovative dance films was evident, and the communication throughout the process was smooth and professional. Although we couldn’t attend in person, we deeply appreciate being part of such a supportive and inspiring platform for dance on film. Thank you for selecting our work and for fostering a space where movement and film intersect so beautifully!
Amazing Festival, thank you for hostng us.
