I am thrilled to announce that Culture Connects Us has been officially submitted to both the San Francisco International Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival for consideration! As a first-time Director, this is an incredible milestone for me, and I am so excited to share this project with such prestigious festivals. This film has been a labor of love, and it wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and artistry of my amazing collaborators. I am beyond grateful to Editor and Producer Kaylah Marin, whose skill and vision have helped elevate this project. A special thanks to our other producers and the incredible Village-Connect, Inc. family for believing in and supporting this vision from day one. Coming off the success of my recent art installation and gallery store at the Autumn Lights Festival through KAJE Creative, LLC, I am energized by the impact we are making through creativity and collaboration. Culture Connects Us is more than just a film—it's an invitation to affect the collective consciousness through dialogue and the power of culture.
