    I am incredibly moved to announce that 'BLUE ASH' has been named an Award Winner at the FilmNest International Film Festival. As a project I created entirely on my own, from vision to final cut, this recognition feels deeply personal and rewarding. Huge thanks to the festival for valuing my independent voice.
