Gabriel McCarthy - "An awesome event with so much love thrown in for the arts and it's people. You truly feel apart of something so much larger than you, and the diversity of films is incredible. From new starters with simple, low budget but honest films, to seasoned professionals putting out beautiful cinema, this festival had it all. Very honoured to have been apart of it, and awarded for our work on "Rad Dad". Thank you for having, and he hope to be accepted again in the future."
