I have attended the Wildwood Film Festival many times in the past years and I always enjoyed it.
This year was very different. Most of the film shorts seemed like a "high school film student's homework assignment". Some films were overly focused on either a specific special effect, film setting or camera technique. There were too many "horror" type film shorts which had not real script, plot or theme. It didn't seem to be remotely professional at all.
For the cost of over $35 per person for the day event, it was not worth it.
