The Story Teller Universe sets a high standard in festival communication, direction, films, and venue. Just an AMAZING FILM FESTIVAL.
New York City is always an incredible place to be, and this festival truly brought the energy and scale of a major event that only can happen in NYC...Well Done!

Big respect to the festival director VENKAT for creating something so ambitious and well organized.
We’re very excited that our film was selected and extremely proud of the work behind it. This is definitely one Festival to submit films.

Wishing the entire team all the best for future editions.
The festival is just getting started—and it’s going to kick a**, and I will be submitting my next film soon again. Darwin Reina

Storyteller Universe offered the same level of care, warmth, and filmmaker support that I’ve experienced at far more established festivals. The films were thoughtfully curated, and I was genuinely overjoyed to be included in the lineup.

The festival created space for filmmakers to speak about their work during the Q&A, which added depth and connection to the experience. There was also a strong sense of community—filmmakers attended even when their films weren’t screening, simply to be part of it. I had several meaningful conversations as a result.

I highly recommend submitting to and attending Storyteller Universe. May it continue for many years to come, grounded in love, kindness, and thoughtful storytelling.

Thank you, sweet friends!z
