2017 - Eric Mcever

A truly exceptional festival. OWA balanced an intimate feeling ideal for meaningful conversations and networking with a truly world class slate of films, industry guests, and social events. After screening at OWA, my film began receiving a flurry of acceptances at other festivals, attesting to its influence. It's no surprise that it's growing so quickly, and should rapidly become one of the top genre festivals worldwide. Highly recommended.
