The WILDsound Feedback Festival has to be one of the most groundbreaking festivals because the reviews are always from a diverse perspective on the body of work submitted. We appreciate this festival and how it incorporates all film producers to submit their work from varying backgrounds. I enjoy spending time watching the many short films submitted on their platform. Congratulations to WILDsound Feedback Festival and their team! All great work being done here!
In-person & hybrid festival with multiple screenings and interviews with filmmakers & screenwriters to promote and enhance the creator and their projects.
The monthly festival that showcases the best of Thriller/Suspense Genre Stories and Films from around the world.

This is a HYBRID film festival with live screenings for the audience feedback video you will receive, plus an optional virtual 2nd showcase to enhance the film’s exposure. Festival also conducts blog and podcast interviews with the filmmaker.

With THRILLER screenplays and films, there will always be a market. This is a genre that will always be popular. Agents and producers are always looking for the next great writer and the next great filmmakers who tell great THRILLER stories. So if that is you, we will showcase your script or short film and make sure the right people see your work.
All festival dates have been moved to private screenings with the same Audience FEEDBACK videos made for the short & feature films, and recorded script readings performed by professional actors for the screenplays. This is our way of showing community over distance so everyone around the world can experience our Audience Feedback videos.

Gay relationships are messy. Let’s be real—between the swipe-left culture, hookup apps on every corner, and the glorification of open relationships, monogamy gets treated like some dusty relic from the past. But why should queer couples chain themselves to “traditional” rules that weren’t even made for us? Who actually wants to settle for a relationship that feels like a straight, invented by straights, cookie-cutter cage dressed up as commitment?
Short film Johnny Be Good is a thoughtful exploration of a gay couple within a culture of open relationships. Through stirring and often edgy narration, the story unfolds as a gay man finds himself desperately enamored with another.
The film opens with a spirited gay bar scene. The sexy wardrobe, the upbeat synth music and the dim, smoky air with disco ball shards of light really capture the passion and excitement of happy, flirtatious gay men having a blast. As the film plays out, gorgeous slow-motion montages of the two main characters spending quality moments together seemingly reveal their genuine feelings for one another.
The screenplay is brilliant in its rapid segway to misery and revenge. The dizzying camera work and biting on screen text show the inner workings of the lead’s feelings of hurt and betrayal, and the desire for vengeance. This film underscores the human need for connection, but it proves that this can mean different things to different people – – in this case, in gay relationships – – which makes the film all the more nuanced and sophisticated.
In a dystopian future where families are torn apart, a mother is granted one annual reunion with a digital simulation of her child — a fragile ritual that tests the limits of memory and love.
Review by Andie Kay:
Writer/Director Teresa Garza brings us this sci-fi short film that is very Black Mirror-esque. Our memories are so precious to us, they remind us of good and bad times and even can bring us serenity in a turbulent world.
The story was engaging and drops you right into a very tense, uncomfortable situation. Teresa provided a great twist at the end but if you don’t read the summary prior to watching the film, you might be a little confused. I just wish we were given a set-up of what and why the Family Services Division was abducting people.
Casting for this was amazing, every actor did such a wonderful job. They were believable, organic and it drew the viewer into the story even more. The way the filmmakers incorporated the computerized voice over was fantastic and brought in a sense of reality, like this could actually happen.
Jorge Palomo handled the score, editing and cinematography for the film and the music was a wonderful addition. The cinematography was really well done and the work with special effects added a seamless futuristic element.
