Rare are the festivals that are all heart and NEZ Film Festival is just that! I received my first award for my first film at NEZ and I couldn't have asked for a better gathering. Starting from the organizers to the jury, everyone was extremely helpful and a delight to meet. I was humbled by the encouragement and warmth that I experienced throughout the festival. Thank you NEZ! You're so very special to me!
