    Thank you so much to the London Indie Film Festival for honoring my film The Day I Saved a Fish with the Best Animated Film Award. This piece was created in the midst of both creative wonder and personal struggle, and to have it recognized on an international stage means more than I can express. Thank you for seeing its quiet soul. With deepest gratitude and a full heart, I look forward to sharing more heartfelt works in the future.
