    I was so honored to be a selected as a filmmaker in the Los Angeles Tribune International Film Festival. LATIFF is a first-class festival that makes every filmmaker and artist selected to screen feel truly valued, while also providing a platform for invaluable connections and networking opportunities. The festival sets the stage with strategic press coverage, and audiences are engaged early on to support the groundbreaking films featured. I loved the film selections this year and cannot wait to return next year. This is a festival you do not want to miss!
