“Thank you, STTP!
I was so happy to receive an award.
Short films are screened (if selected) in festivals and then fade away. Giving monthly awards and then showing them next February will give the film a new life again. This makes Short to the Point well worth entering and being part of.
Thanks, Leigh.”
Annabella SchnabelDirector
