Winning Filmmaker’s Acceptance Speech or Acknowledgment:
“Thank you to the New Orleans Independent Film Festival for this incredible honor. I’m deeply grateful to the jury for recognizing our work. This project has been a labor of love, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the passion and dedication of my amazing team — our talented cast and crew who gave their all. I also want to thank my family and friends for their unwavering support, and of course, to the audience here tonight for being a part of this experience. Independent cinema is all about telling unique, untold stories, and it’s heartwarming to see that people connect with what we’ve created. This award means so much to me, and it reminds me of why I do what I do. Thank you again to NOIFF and everyone who believed in this project.”
