    Brilliant festival with super friendly and open communications from the directors. Great standard of films throughout. They ran the festival with a personal touch and even followed up with our team afterwards. A lot of effort went into the awards party, which was a lot of fun. Delighted that Bully picked up Best Screenplay and Best Male Actor for Richard Glover. Many thanks, Martin and James

    This was a brilliant local festival for film enthusiasts and filmmakers alike. I would highly recommend for those starting out on their filmmaking journey or simply wanting to see local talent from the midlands area.
