I had a great time at the festival and in Bloomington and I would like to thank you for screening my film and putting on a great show. If there is another festival next year, I plan to make the trip again. Thanks again! Sincerely, Steven Cerritos Toronto, Ontario Canada We had an AMAZING time at the incredible Dark Carnival Film Festival! The event was extremely well organized and the venue was absolutely fantastic. We met so many talented people and the audience reception to W.O.R.M. was overwhelming. Anthony Sumner Chicago, IL I just wanted to say thank you for showing "The Drifter" again for my benefit. I really appreciated that! What a great crowd you were able to gather on the last day of the first year of a new film festival! And on college move-in weekend! Congratulations to you and the whole staff there. It was an honor to be in the festival, and I wish you the best of luck in the years moving forward with it! I hope we have something new to submit in the next few years. My feeling is that we will. And when we do, we will submit it to your festival for sure! Thanks again! Take care.
