    Merci ! Merci ! Merci de m'avoir attribué le lauréat dans votre festival. J'étais un peu douteux sur la communication mais ce sont des choses qui arrivent dans un domaine pas si facile. je n'avais pas bien vérifié mes mails et j'ai reçu mon certificat... Très très très honoré ! Une très belle expérience<;
    Bon vent à vous les italiens !!!

    Grazie! Grazie! Grazie per avermi assegnato il premio al vostro festival. Ero un po' scettico sulla comunicazione, ma queste cose succedono in un settore non sempre facile. In bocca al lupo a voi italiani!

    I was very pleased to be invited to participate in this festival, and honored to receive an award for Best Fantasy. The acknowledgment as a director/writer is something I value very much.
