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.

2017 - Catya Plate

A top-notch genre film festival. The festival directors and staff do an amazing job to make the filmmakers feel welcome. With an excellent selection of films, high quality and sold out screenings, great panels and a wonderful opportunity to network with other filmmakers this is bound to become one of the best genre festivals around! I am very fortunate to have been selected to screen my film at OWA and I would highly encourage other genre filmmakers to submit.
