What an incredible festival! Pickleball is Life: DILL with it was honored to receive the BEST TV show award. Susan and her team of volunteers couldn’t have been more organized and created such a fun event , where they treated all the creators and filmmakers like royalty ! The food, the venue space was all top notch. But the best part was the ample time and the venue being conducive to networking

Well-run film festival with stimulating films, music and screenplays. Founder and Director Susan Johnston’s well crafted Q&A allowed for filmmakers and screenwriters to connect with one another and the audience.

#Reviews #NewMediaFilmFestival

This is such a generous festival! And one that is trailblazing in its embrace of multiple different formats, media, and approaches to storytelling. A wonderfully lively atmosphere accompanies the festival, and this was palpable even in virtual form, due to the pandemic necessitating both online and in-person attendance. I’m very grateful to have been a part of this festival – a terrific, affirming experience.

Honoured to have been nominated with my feature screenplay ‘The Split’ at such a prestigious film Festival. I loved hooking up with Susan and fellow nominees at the festival, live. Susan is a natural connector of people; engaged and hospitable to all she meets. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to further my reach with my dear-to-my-heart project.

It was very exciting for us to be a part of this festival. The event had plenty of time to meet the other artists and compare notes on the challenges of storytelling and filmmaking. The Q&A provided all the nominees with the chance to speak from the heart and share their inspirations, many of which were very moving. Putting on an event of this scope is never easy, especially if one of your venues unexpectedly closes down. Susan was able to quickly find an alternative so the show could go on. We would definitely submit to this festival again if we have the opportunity.

The New Media Film Festival is one of a kind!
Its running years give them the professionalism that artists seek from Festivals.
And New Media Film Festival provides such one
Not because of the excellent opportunities and the networking possibilities that all the Nominees have but the most important thing is the great communication they provide and make us feel at home. ….The event had plenty of time to meet the other artists and compare notes on the challenges of storytelling and filmmaking. The Q&A provided all the nominees with the chance to speak from the heart and share their inspirations, many of which were very moving…..
Honestly only good words I have for them and for Mrs. Crystal Zen the content Coordinator and Mrs. Johnston the Founder & Director since they were present each moment with understanding and an encouraging smile ready to help us around. I totally recommend it.

Award presenter and judge Chelsea Lo Pinto (Director of HBO Program Strategy & Planning) stated that the winner of Best Script “exemplifies these qualities [innovation and vitality] and, most importantly, adds something to the genre that is unexpected and new”. Onwards and upwards with your splendid festival!
