Well, I have to say that FESTIVUS launched with all the fan fare that was promised! We too, had a really fabulous time. It was so great to meet so many filmmakers, and to finally spend some time with some of my WAB buddies in person. You all more than lived up to my expectations! We loved The Curtis Hotel. It was "trendy", retro-hip and very comfortable! I don't think they could have made a better choice for a host hotel. The Festivus staff was cheerful, helpful, and genuinely interested in making sure we felt welcome and appreciated.

Our film "Railed" also screened at this year's Festivus Film Festival... and we couldn't be any more proud to be a part of the Festivus Family. Like stated many times above, first and foremost they treat the filmmakers like gods!! This is something I truely hope they carry on in the following years when they are the 500 pound gorilla of the festival circuit. Festivus was a blast.. We enjoyed everything about it... If you're looking to submit to any festivals next year and are reading this.. we STRONGLY recommend this festival. It's worth the submission fee!! Thanks again to all the staff and crew of Festivus and making it such a great experience for us.

Festivus was an amazing experience from the moment I got accepted via email until the end. They picked me up at the airport and gave my local friends passes and were available to drive us wherever we needed to go . everything was so organized. truly impressed. and... I won for Best Narrative short so I cant complain. I will definately recommend to my friends and will be submitting my next one for sure!!!
