    It was a pleasure participating in your festival, and an honor to have been a winner on the category of Best Short! Thank you for helping us spread all the love OFELIA has to offer, and allowing me to honor my parents posthumously!

    I am thrilled that you recognized my "off-the-beaten-track" analysis of human nature. I slay many sacred cow, but you chose it anyway.
    Wonderfully organized and presented!
