Excited to have our docu short PHASE FIVE - which offers real-world solutions to the critical problem combat vets have re-integrating into civilian life - under consideration in this contest.

The crew and I for "Circadian" are humbled to be a part of this awesome festival alongside so many great filmmakers. Congratulations to all the semi finalists and good luck! Thank you again Stage 32 for the opportunity we are all very excited.

Congratulations to everyone who made it to the Semi-finals! I am so excited and honored to be apart of such an amazing Festival! Shout out to the cast and crew for Circadian!

I want to thank Stage 32 for the enormous honor of being selected as a semi-finalist in this amazing festival and contest! We're truly humbled by this prestigious honor. Thank you to all who participated in making this possible for our small and humble effort, BECKONED! Can't wait for everyone to see the film! We deeply appreciate being part of this.

On behalf of the cast, crew and everyone who made KISMET a reality, a huge thank you to Stage32 for selecting us as a semi-finalist for this incredible competition. We are humbled to be considered alongside such a diverse and talented pool of filmmakers. Congratulations to all!

Thank you, Stage 32, for recognizing "Vinyl Child" in this competition. And congratulations to all of the semi-finalists but also the fantastic quarter-finalists. I know some of the filmmakers on the list and it's nice to be associated with people who do painstaking hard work all for their love of cinema. You all inspire me! I don't know if we're allowed to start a conversation on this forum but where is everyone from? I'm in Los Angeles but also worked in New York for a few years. Anybody in NYC? Any funny stories about production?

Honored to be included in this round! Thanks to Stage32 from the cast and crew!

Congratulations all semi-finalists! Its so hard to get these made and funded and amazing to see such great work coming out despite the adversity! You are all winners for completing your films!

Pleasure being amongst Semi-finalists with so many beautiful projects from around the globe! Congratulations to all making the long way to here! :)

Huge thanks to the Stage 32 team for honouring THE INVENTION as a semifinalist at this year's competition! It means the world to be included alongside such stellar work from incredible storytellers. Good luck and congratulations everyone -- cannot wait to see your films!

Huge congratulations to everyone making the semis. By all accounts, this has been our most competitive year yet. All should be most proud!

I'm so honoured to be amongst the talented filmmakers in the semi-finals! My dad, who is the producer of my film 'Look Inside', told me I was in the quarter-finals just yesterday, so it feels like two strokes of luck for me. Best of luck to everyone! :D

So excited that 'Misfit M.' has made it this far!!! Such an honour and what a wonderful pick-me-up while we're all isolating at home. So exciting as filmmakers to know that our careers can still move forward during this time. Fingers crossed for the next round! And excited to watch some awesome films. THANKS STAGE32! (and Vail Film Festival for hooking us up)
