    We want to thank the Thokoza Film Festival for officially selecting our short film "Neither You Nor I" ("Ni tú ni yo") and for making our voice actress Tarsicia Ugarte an International Nominee. It's been really special for us that this film was scheduled for screenings at such a well organized event in such a beautiful and culturally rich country. Truly a surreal experience. Your website provides an excellent experience, so congratulations for that as well.

    It was a profitable pleasure to be part of this momentous event and programme and an honour to be nominated in 5 categories, but to walk away with an award was even an overwhelming feeling. This initiative stands out as it drives strong film development of young people, the next generation of filmmakers
