The film was also nominated at the Charity Film Awards (UK).

In 2023, Yorgo Glynatsis directed and co-produced the Trans/Queer British Greek Cypriot short film, Koupepia, starring Olivier nominated actor Peter Polycarpou, trans actor, writer Sophia Vi, internet sensation Alexander Theo and Channel 4 Screw actor Nathan Vaughan-Harris.
