I feel grateful to be able to tell stories & bring characters to life for a living.

I believe as artists, what we do is a contact sport.

Whatever we create, ultimately, we want to have an impact on someone.

Whether 10 people watch my work or 10,000, I want people to feel seen, heard & inspired.

Within the past 10 years of my career, I have been fortunate to do so.

Thank you all for recognizing my work & seeing me.

More than 400 films will be presented at the 20thanniversary event, selected from over 6,100 submissions.
