    The INYFF has provided a wonderful experience from the very beginning. The status of my screenplay The Far Reach of Yesterday was communicated in a timely manner, and when I won the Diamond Globe Award, the telecon was thrilling and very informative. Diana Lenska gives her heart and soul to this amazing festival, and I'm so grateful!
