The HB Film Festival was incredible. We felt so proud and lucky to be involved. What sets it apart is that it is evident that it is run by people who are passionate about films, independent filmmaking, and passionate about creating an environment that is supportive and nurturing to independent filmmakers. Their passion and commitment was felt from day one. There was clear communication, excellent publicity, and celebration of the films, and a wonderful atmosphere at the in-person event. There was something for everyone and we can't wait to go back! Thanks HB Film Festival!
