    As an independent filmmaker, I am extremely thankful to the Triloka International Filmfare Awards for giving me the opportunity to show my short « The Gargoyles », and thanks to my whole team, to Win Best Narrative Short.
    I also won Critics’ Choice Award as Best Screenplay, the Audience Choice Award as Best Indie Short Film, and as Best Actress Award, combined with Antoine Coesens as Best Actor in an Indie Short, Special Jury Award as Best Female Director, Honorable Mention Award as Best Producer, but also for my purely artistic choices : Best Editing, Best Original Score, Best Poster.
    Thank you so much, dear wonderful TRILOKA INTERNATIONAL FILMFARE AWARDS TEAM, I feel so blessed and grateful !

    The Triloka International Filmfare Awards offers a valuable platform for independent filmmakers from around the world. I sincerely appreciate the recognition given to our short film and the warm, respectful treatment we received from the festival team. Their hospitality was outstanding, and it’s clear they truly value the artists.

    Overall, I am grateful for the experience and hopeful to see how this festival continues to grow. They have good intentions, and with a few adjustments, Triloka can become an important reference for independent cinema on a global level.

    Sincerely,

    Working with this Triloka International Filmfare Awards was a truly memorable experience. The team’s professionalism and expertise were evident from the very beginning. They treated us—and our film—with genuine respect, making us feel that our work and our presence really mattered. It was clear they understood the commitment and passion that went into our project, and their attention to detail was exceptional. Thanks to their dedication, we felt like A-list filmmakers every step of the way. On behalf of myself and my team, thank you for making us feel so welcome and for delivering such an outstanding experience.
