  Thanks so much to Women Make Waves--a wonderful and inclusive festival. I unfortunately wasn't able to come (from the US!) in person, but all communications were prompt, friendly and helpful. They are doing a fantastic job of highlighting the work of women filmmakers.

  Women Make Waves Int'l Film Festival has so unique nature so as a guest I remember it as an amazing and friendly experience. The rarity of these treating creates challenges for many festivals I’ve been. Volunteers are very friendly and keep us propped up. The level of organization and communication with festival are very professional and the atmosphere is wonderful. Thanks so much for your warm welcome and hospitality. I’m sure I come back here one day.

  One of the greatest honors of Lady Hunters festival run, was being in the Women Make Waves International FF in Taipei, Taiwan. Communication was kind and professional. They take great care to promote the films and filmmakers on a wonderful website. Sadly I wasn't able to attend in person, but how completely gratifying to know that our film got to play to an audience on the other side of the planet, bonding us through mutual experience and care for one another. Participating was an extraordinary honor, and I can't recommend this festival highly enough.

  We were very happy to be selected for this festival, and to have our Asian Premiere in Taipei. Though we were unable to attend in person, we loved the programme our film was included in, and the attention to detail in the selection and communication throughout.
