The theme of the June 2018 YOUNG FILMMAKERS FEEDBACK Film Festival in Toronto was “Pulling a Fast One”. Every single film was about characters wanting to succeed by unconventional means.

It was bizarre, I had to pause and finish watching in the morning because it was so surreal. It’s so strange watching people you have no connection to picking apart something you spent months to create. All the feedback was great and so affirming that i was successful in telling this arc and not being too dramatic and getting the performances as good as i could get them. After the initial strangeness of it, it was brilliant to watch.

Harrison Lane Such a wonderful experience! It was really cool to receive all the feedback from the audience and see the reception of your film after it’s been viewed. It’s an opportunity that no other festivals offer so for that reason i 100% recommend this festival to any and all filmmakers!
