    Dear International Gold Awards Committee,

    The Original Screenplay award is equally significant to me, as I poured my heart and soul into crafting a story that resonates with audiences. Seeing that the narrative I envisioned has found appreciation in such esteemed circles is incredibly fulfilling. I am sincerely grateful for this recognition, and I would like to thank the International Gold Awards Committee for supporting original voices in storytelling.

    This recognition fuels my passion for storytelling and motivates me to continue pushing boundaries in the film industry. I look forward to creating compelling narratives and performances that inspire and connect with worldwide audiences.

    Thank you once again for this remarkable honor. I'm excited to see what the future holds for all of us in this incredible industry.

    Warmest regards,

    Victoria Napolitano
