I had a wonderful experience with my Semi Finalist Short Script "The Monkey". Communication was great and the reputation of the festival speaks for itself and I had fun! Will enter next year for sure!

The communication, hospitality and overall festival is one that filmmakers and writers should submit their work to, but it is also a festival for people who just love movies.Congratulations to all the organisers, you did a great job!

"My second year back at Waterford Film Festival and again a wonderful experience. A great mix of Irish and international . Excellent screenwriting competition also".
"This was an excellent experience. Great organisation, cool venue and a welcoming team. The film selections was fabulous, with an eclectic mix of genres and styles going from traditional to experimental. It was amazing being in the midst of so many talented individuals. I particularly liked the way they celebrated and awarded all screenwriters participating in the competition. Great fun".
