Festival personnel keep you advised and were very accommodating. Our film was even nominated in a category "project Idea" which is a a perfect fit since it's a bit of drama as well as fantasy/sci-fi. Oozing forward to September's Finals!

This festival has fast become one of my favorite film festivals in Wisconsin. Great atmosphere and lineup. Love the participation from international filmmakers. The awards show was frosting on the cake which recognized the achievements of all filmmakers and also created a fun and special moment for all.
