I was unfortunately not able to honor this festival's invitation in person but in the midst of all the chaos in my life, I can honestly say that it warms my heart to find on the net a photograph of my lead actor standing down there and lifting to the sky the first ever "Best Comedy" award given in Creete. What a great feeling! Thank you for helping us make history! And congratulations to all the winners!
