This follows Dauphin's successful directorial debut Jeudi, which won "Best LGBTQ Short Film" at Berlin Short Film Festival, "Honorable Mention" at IndieX, "Semi-Finalist" honors at Indie Short Fest, and was an official selection at 7 additional film festivals including Out on Film, Micheaux Film Festival and Atlanta Women's Film Festival.
