What a fantastic film festival. Nestled in the adorable and upscale neighborhood of Arlington, MA. and scheduled during Boston’s most beautiful fall weather, The Lonely Seal International Film Festival is A+ from beginning to end. My short film CARROTS premiered there and also won an Honorable Mention, but the real reward was the one-on-one time with the founder of the festival Hammad Zaidi – (who happened to be on our flight from Los Angeles too!) and also the interesting and important connections with other filmmakers. Tara (my lead actress) and I made memories that will last a lifetime. Great festival!
