I was very happy my movie sold and people got what I wanted to say. The audience totally got it. It made me believe in myself tenfold

Family Festival Testimonial – March 4 2019

festivalforfamily Testimonials, wildsound festival review, winning screenplays

I signed up to FilmFreeway at the beginning of the year but have been pretty selective about entering film festivals. There aren’t too many that focus on family films which is a shame, so when I saw the Festival for Family I jumped at the opportunity. The feedback was tremendous. It prompted me to re write the ending to make it more satisfying and I’m so glad I did. My script sparkled after the changes.
