It means so much to me and the production team of Always for the recognition. We made this short film for so many personal reasons so the fact that we were able to screen and be selected at your incredible festival is such an achievement and a huge honour for us. The calibre of films was astounding at the Festival this year, to be among them is so wonderful.
