  • Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to participate in your Frames of New York! I am delighted that my film, *Rosso Improvviso* (Suddenly Red), was selected as a Semi-Finalist for Best Woman Director and Best Women Empowerment. Reaching the semi-finals—or even the finals—among hundreds of feature, medium-length, and short films is truly a miracle. This recognition honors the talent, dedication, and sacrifices of an extraordinary team that believed in this film from the very first take 🎬.
    A special thank you goes to the Festival Organizers and to every single professional who played a part in this ongoing journey. Now, we await the next verdict with the same enthusiasm we felt on the first day of filming 🚀.
    I am so proud of this incredible team. The journey continues! 🏆 Thank you again for the amazing thrill you’ve given me ❤️ Patrizia Masi
