“The CBIFF was a first class event. Cristyn and her group stayed true to the festivals mission through this pandemic by giving black filmmakers a voice and platform for their creativity to be discovered. That’s important now more than ever. I was also humbled to be awarded “The Best Homegrown Award“. We will definitely be back with our next project.
