This week we finally got to hold a private screening of “My Dearest Mother” with all the cast, crew, family and close friends that helped to make it happen.
The short film has been in the making for almost one year so to be able to finally screen it and receive news that it has won an @aimaffestival award for Best Debut Short film and received an honourable mention, and is a finalist at the @worldfilmfestivalincannes is the perfect close to the year.
A big thank you to everyone who attended and supported us along the way. We look forward to sharing more news in the near future!
