Testimonials
A truly unique festival which made me want to write another faith/family-friendly screenplay just to participate a second time. Thank you peers for choosing my screenplay as having the best "Villian" and for several runners-up categories. I look forward to putting all your feedback into action. The organizers were very communicative and accommodating. The added bonus of the Bootcamp was stellar.
