Get to know director Veronica A. Hodge-Hampton & writer/producer/songwriter Sandra Hodge-Hampton:
What motivated you to make this film?
Sandra (writer/producer/songwriter): I wanted to show that when a person has limited strength or even a terminal diagnosis their caregivers should let them keep as much independence as they can because in addition to the sadness associated with the illness the person is also dealing with feeling like a burden to their loved ones.
Veronica (director/producer): I wanted to make this film to show that caregivers need to ask for help while they are caring for their person whoever that is, and that it is okay to ask for help when you’re not the one that’s sick.
What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?
Sandra: Relieved and thankful! Because I prayed that everything I wanted to convey in the script would translate into a meaningful and thought provoking experience for the audience and their comments proved that we did our job.
Veronica: It made me happy that they understood what we were trying to say. They got the emotion, they understood the stress and strain on both characters and they saw Vivian overcome in the end and be at peace about how she took care of Rosalind.

Loved this festival! It was great to receive feedback on our short film 148: SNEEZE – something many festivals do not do. Also we were very happy to have won “Best Performances” too – thanks. Highly Recommend!
Thank you for great communication and help in creating the interview and the video about the audience’s reactions!
The idea to hear what the public thinks about our work is excellent and a great way to connect with the audience from a very organic style of reviews. Thank you for the feedback on our micro-short “A Taco” and the exposure you give us as filmmakers!
Overall a great experience. The work that went into creating the feedback video was much appreciated, and the website interview and podcast were a nice bonus. I highly recommend this festival.
This was a great experience for my under 5 minute short on climate change. I was so surprised by the awards! (won best music and best sound editing) A lot of effort went into their feedback, and I’m so grateful for the footage! Thank you so much.
