PVIFF was my introduction into the movies. And now, I handle a multitude of productions in the Film & Music Industry. My career wouldn't be what it is without PVIFF.

The screenings were amazing. But then to top it off, they had a Pitch Tent with Adi Cohen and others. That was a game changer for me.
