Our thoughts are with Dave Leong, a correspondent for Kung Fu Cult Cinema who covered our festival for years and always made us feel like superstars. Dave passed away earlier this year and it doesn't feel the same without him.

And special thanks to our audience. You've stuck with us for five years and you're the reason this is all here in the first place. Without you, it's just showing movies in an empty room. With you, it's a festival!
