I'm so glad that Doom & Despair played in the 2024 Rossland Mountain Film Fest. Communication was easy-peasy. I just wish that I could have attended! This festival looks like a blast!

Bit late to the party but many thanks to Rossland Mtn Film Festival for selecting our short Man versus Ferry last year at their film festival. We have a second one in production now, bolstered by the fact film festivals like yours and others selected ours. Many thanks, Paul and Gee.

Happy to have my film "First Day of Winter" selected for your festival, best of luck in the future!
