    Although FROSTBITE International Indie Fest has not yet concluded its July 2021 Award Month, I wanted to share my personal review because regardless of taking home a win or not, it wouldn't change my opinion. And my opinion is as such: this has not only been an absolutely fantastic experience, but to me, FROSTBITE honors the passion, the love, the creativity and the craft that is the legacy of cinema, along with the filmmakers (no matter new or known) whom bring it to life. It has been a profound honor to have been a small part of such a grand festival. So thank you -- hand to heart -- for the kindness and professionalism shown. It will remain a cherished experience. Respectfully so.
