    Dear Team Sound and Vision,

    I hope all is well - I've tried to get in contact in different ways and this is my last resort.

    My name is Simret Cheema-Innis and I'm the Writer/Director of From Me To You film which won best Student Vision Award this year 2025.

    My Sound Designer Michele Paciulli ordered and paid for a physical award more than a month ago, but he has still not received it. He lives in Taiwan and ordered it via Paypal under his own name and delivery address.

    We'd really appreciate it if you could give us an update.

    Thanks

    It was a pleasure being featured in this festival. There wasn't much on the end of having a way to promote being in the festival, i.e., proper laurels, site, and social media navigation.
