This was truly a blessed weekend for THE SAXOPHONIST. In addition to the “Best Director – Drama” win at the Brightside Film Festival, we have also received our latest award from the Jamaica International Faith Film Festival which was held last Saturday in Capitol City Kingston! The film was one of 6 films that earned a “Director’s Award” and we’re pleased to report that our turnout there was between 75-80 people in the audience who loved our film immensely. Our thanks to the beautiful people of Jamaica for this wonderful honor.
