I loved this festival! I was honoured that my short documentary, Alone Across Gola, won Best Documentary and the Audience Award for Best Film. John, Grace and the rest of the team really do put everything into this festival. This is a  festival full of soul and real film enthusiasts who you’ll be lucky to network with. It’s also set in the gorgeous town of Torquay. John, thank you for having me, and I can’t wait to hopefully come back with my next film!

I loved this festival!

I was honoured that my film, A Place We Call West, made it to this festival. The team has been going above and beyond to help all film makers and supporting them in anyway they can. Their communication and also been superb!

Worth the travel to meet some amazing people and to visit a festival so full of life. Thank you for having me and I hope to be back again!

Love this festival! They’ve been nothing but supportive of our films over the years. It’s been great to see them grow from strength to strength and we can’t wait to submit our future work to them!
