Testimonials
Had a really lovely time at this festival. They were incredibly professional with prompt replies and made every effort to make filmmakers feel included, and promoted with superbly professional featurettes, interviews and live streams in the run up to the festival. The festival itself was amazing with the mayor and mayoress of Bromley in attendance. Overall it was a lovely vibe, and I highly recommend everyone submitting to them.

This is a perfect festival in ambition, relations and execution. I'm sad that I wasn't able to visit the festival in person. The MiraBan team really helped promote our film and me as a director with interviews, screening and a really nice gala at the end of the festival. We won best Comedy for "The Car Spotter". I sincerely hope to make some good enough to be back at the festival soon. This is a must submit festival for indie filmmakers.
