Keep it short unless you've got a solid feature planned out!
>
> what do you want to see more or less of?
Always looking for more good narratives, more love stories, and more
foreign
entries (especially from Africa and Asia).

> entering?
Falling in love with their work and not editing their films down. We
see a
lot of good ideas that just last too long. Also, with regards to
narratives, we see a lot of films with good production values that just
don't take enough time with the script.

> what really excites you?
A great film that doesn't try too hard, doesn't lag, and as a topper is
even
by someone who lives in a rural area.
