A little look back #1

It's the day after my birthday, 9 days into 2017. As I prepare for a trip to Dublin for another day of shooting I find myself thinking about what an incredible year 2016 was for me personally.

In January 2016 I had set out with a list of goals and I worked my ass off to clear that list. Some of those objectives have rolled over to 2017 but others were achieved and came with so many unexpected bonuses.

ONE of those goals came in the guise of a Short Film "Radha" 

This film toured some of the worlds Film Festivals and racked up some great reviews. We even had the insane and unexpected pleasure of winning some awards. Canada's Shiver Film Fest awarded us, not one but FOUR awards.
- Short Film of the Year
- Best Fantasy Film
- Best Female Performance (Kojii Helnwein) {This one had me jumping and screeching in disbelief like a giddy little girl!!}
- Best Director (Nicolas Courdouan)

Winning that award has definitely given me an added drive to get back to that long mission list of mine and work even harder from here on out.
