Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in your festival. I am truly honoured that my script, The Village Phantom, won Best Feature Screenplay and I am grateful for the chance to showcase the rich village life of rural Norway.
The festival is one of a kind! The feedback and generosity with professionalism is just warming, especially to writers like me who sat on material too scared to share with the rest of the world! Definitely a confidence builder and positive experience!!!
awesome festival experience! Thank you for the opportunity to showcase our Indie film.
I highly recommend that filmmakers of any skill level interact and engage with the Wildsound Film Festival.
Festival organizers Matthew and Alison Toffolo have created an awesome experience. Their passion for the medium of film and providing filmmakers with exposure, feedback, and connections is clear through the quality of their festival.
The feedback videos they offer are a perfect tool to gauge audiences’ reception of your film.
The podcast interview the festival provides is a great way to promote your film. Matthew is an awesome host who asks engaging and detailed questions.
Films submitted to this festival also have the chance to be selected for one of the biweekly, genre-based screenings at the Toronto Carlton Cinema.
These in-person events happen biweekly and are an awesome opportunity to view, support, and discuss short films with other artists. I’m so grateful to have met so many truly talented and passionate film enthusiasts and creators at this event. It was an incredible honor to have The Callback, a short film I wrote and directed, premiere at this festival. I’m deeply grateful to have been a part of it.

out of control, 16min., Switzerland
Directed by bellopropello
Machines and robots take care of almost all human activities. The world is automated, and meaningful individual employment isn’t possible anymore. A workforce simply is no longer needed – except for some monitoring activities – and humans are doomed to carry out completely insignificant, absurd and repetitive work. The monotony of everyday life blends with suppressed desires resulting in a conflicting existence between reality and fiction.
