What Our Audience Is Saying
I am short of words in describing Bayelsa International Film Festival and her team. They are so far the best team I have worked with. As a filmmaker based in Cameroon, I strongly see that this is a great platform to showcase our products.
When I was contracted by the boss of BIFF Mr. Moses Etonzor, I was skeptical about it since he mentioned that this is the maiden edition but so far with what I’ve seen, I will say kudos for all the efforts that has been put to work.
I traveled to Bayelsa when I heard the information that my boss is planning a Film Festival. Since I arrived it’s been work, work and work and all is to ensure a breath taking film festival. From what I have seen so far, the film festival is already a success.
It’s not been quite long I got to know about Bayelsa International Film Festival (BIFF) but to be sincere my experience with this team has been amazing. To me, it’s a great privilege and I strongly know that this festival will be so amazing.
