“Very happy to be involved with the HAUS Awards! Lovely people and lovely experience. Would recommend submitting to anyone!”

“How can I dote on this fest enough? The communication with Otis in the weeks leading up was/is otherworldly in terms of transparency, which was genuine and real (not a copy/paste style situation at all). I’m thrilled I got to see the movie on the big screen with the HAUS audience and can only see the fest getting bigger, wilder, and crazier!

“HAUS film festival is a unique experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for an immersive spooky experience. This was a very intimate, close, and comfortable space to network and explore work/ideas within experimental filmography. Otis has a very gentile heart and shares a crazy mind with the rest of us. Communication was made easy and seamless, and I’m quite sure I’ll be attending the next HAUS event to pop up.”
