The event was filled with energy and delicious appetizers. Based on this event, the film festival should be just as surprising and diverse with its different films. I can’t wait to go.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Miguel Morales, computer science major, expresses his excitement in seeings some films during the festival.<\/span><\/p>\n
