Sorry to hear that dude. It's a pity the bad films drove away most of the audience before they had a chance to see yours. It sounds like it was a very poorly managed and organised event.
Hang in there, because you have a genuine talent for animation and storytelling. There are bound to be better festivals you can get your work shown at in the future.
