There’s something magical about independent films. At film festivals, you’re immersed in raw, unfiltered creativity—a place where storytellers push boundaries, explore new ideas, and take risks. I’ve attended countless festivals, each one showcasing films that might not make it to mainstream theaters but deserve to be seen. One of my favorite experiences was at a small festival in a cozy theater, where the director herself attended the screening and shared the story behind the film. It was a poignant documentary about a community coming together to restore a forgotten forest, and the personal stories intertwined with that effort. Film festivals provide a space for voices that might otherwise go unheard, and every film I watch is a new perspective, a new journey. It’s a celebration of independent storytelling—where passion, vision, and heart come together on the screen.
