  • Loved it. Geechee One Films was delighted to be selected to have our film A GEECHEE CHRISTMAS selected for this awesome festival. They included our film in their promo and it promoted the event well.

  • Nic and the team at Suds & Cinema are class acts and really understanding & passionate for the indie filmmaker! I just checked their website which offers reviews on the films they help promote and it's really unique and in depth! Youtube video speaks greatly for this team: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rneW4pBEMLA

    Although I couldn't attend the Memphis event, I thought everything went well. They were excellent in terms of contacting me and keeping me updated, they gave my film a fair cinema review that can be found on their website (along with other reviews). They did very good job with social media marketing - having live FB updates, videos on Instagram and on their website. I would definitely send more films to them in the future and tell other filmmakers about them.

    Although I was unable to attend, the Festival was very excited to show my short film. The communication was excellent, and the programmers were quick to respond to questions I had. I will submit again, and look forward to attending.
