Testimonials

I would like to warmly thank the incredibly professional and welcoming team of the MiraBan Awards, and especially its director for his heartfelt dedication to the festival and to the invited filmmakers. The selected films were of outstanding quality and aesthetic depth, making us feel part of a greater family of creators who share a common vision.

I felt very valued and appreciated as a filmmaker throughout my experience of the festival: from selection, through to marketing and the main event. I'm really grateful to them for all the efforts they put into raising awareness about the film, through hosting Q&A's online before the festival, and sharing posters/trailers online. Michael and Jay were really fab through every step of our interaction, and thank you to the wider team for their care and support throughout. True champions of auteur and independent film.
