“Incredible festival! I met some great filmmakers, ate great food, and had an amazing time in Winter Park. Their communication is also on point - one of the best-organized fests I've ever been to. I hope to come back every year.”

The hospitality, communication, and quality of the films were outstanding. I felt this festival had a lot of heart. The organizers really cared about the focus of the festival which was mental health.
