    Thrilled to be asked to be part of this festival. Having my short shown with such a great audience in such a special venue as the 'Light Box' is only part of how welcoming and easy the whole experience was.

    It was a wonderful occasion, and honoured for 'Ballroom Boom' to have been screened within such a first-class program. Thanks to John Galway and his team, plus a special mention for the crew at TIFF Lightbox for such a flawless presentation.
