Another huge honor for our special story Dismissal Time, now WINNER for “Best New Jersey Short” at the 10th annual Hang on to Your Shorts Film Festival! I want to personally thank Hiram, Brian, and Rich for this award and more importantly getting our film seen in front of an audience. There’s no better feeling than to see the profound effect that such a traumatic experience can serve as a moment of clarity to educate not just teens but also teachers and parents.
In addition to this award, Dismissal Time has landed Semifinalist status for the Brooklyn International Short Festival and was accepted to screen as part of Hamilton Arts Festival Short Film Series! Hope to have more specifics on those soon and more. Once again, congrats to our cast and crew all around!
