New York. “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere…” Well, the NYCIFF has certainly made it in our book. We were selected for our feature film, Tom Sierchio’s “The Girl Who Invented Kissing” and Caroline, Joe and Roberto and their hard-working volunteers could not have been more accommodating and friendly. They truly make you feel like family. What a wonderful festival! In the biggest city in the world, that goes a long way. It’s sometimes hard to choose when you are limited in funds while doing the festival “circuit”, but this was one of our best choices. Great work NYCIFF! We hope to submit again soon!!
