    Thank you so much to the ICFF team for a great year! We were incredibly honored to have our World Premiere in Orlando and grateful for 10 nominations and 2 awards, but it isn't just about the awards. ICFF feels like coming home to family. The panels, film, TV, and music selections were ALL top notch. So much gratitude from all of us at THE ONE!🙏
