    My collaborators in Taiwan and I are delighted with the prompt consideration given to 'Shoe Story,' our minimalist comedy that was made an Official Selection in Prague. Here's wishing our friends in the Czech Republic all success with events going forward. We look forward to one day celebrating in person the art of film in your unique and vibrant city.

    It was a pleasure to not only be an Official Selection in the Prague International Film Awards but to win the award for Best Comedy Screenplay. Thanks to the wonderful committee for selecting the script for our fictional narrative podcast, as there are not many competitions that accept our format. We are beyond honored and won't forget this moment.
