    I love everything the Mei International Film Festival is about and how they aim to support creative filmmakers. I submitted my short film for consideration and was excited to receive an "official selection". I was truly shocked and honored to have won an award for “The Days of Knight: Chapter 3”.

    I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to have participated in this great festival.

    Thank you again to the amazing team and judges at Mei International Film Festival.

    I’ll see you all again soon!
