  A great thrill to screen a short film in the People of Passion International Film Festival. A very inclusive, well run, professional film festival that celebrates creativity. The cinema was sold out and the audience was very receptive. Thank you!

  On behalf of CESO ENTERPRISES, INC., Alyssa Dann, and Chris Oledude, I would like to compliment the organizers and operators of People of Passion International Film Festival. We are proud to have had the opportunity to showcase our work, “Orange Blues 24” in your festival, as well as share the spotlight with so many talented film makers. Submitting our film was a simple process, and everyone who contacted us on behalf of this festival was helpful, and easy to communicate with. Although we were not able to attend in person, this will remain a highlight of our year, and we recommend submitting your work to this wonderful festival! We certainly intend to participate again in the future. Thank you

A special thank you to the volunteers who did an incredible job putting it all together!! You could feel the positive energy from everyone involved! The filmmakers. The guests.
