HDFEST Deffies Award 2009 for Best Dramatic HD Short

Katia Grivot — Saturday, December 19 2009

Forget-Me-Not was first screened at New York Sony Technology Wonder Lab's theater for the HDFEST competition, on November. Some told, there were tears in the audience at the end. (OMG ! I wish I could have been in NY for the HD premiere !). But at that time there was still the Seattle event to happen before jury's decision.

Here we are, THEY made their decision. Forget-Me-Not won the HDFEST Deffies Award for Best Dramatic HD Short and also placed runner up for The HDFEST Deffie Award for Best Foreign HD Short Film. Isn't that the most beautiful opportunity for me to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ? Thank you very much to HD fest audience, jury and organizers for their enthousiasm and support.

Me and my 5 days in Cleveland to support Forget-Me-Not at the CIFF

Katia Grivot — Monday, March 23 2009

Forget-Me-Not has been screened in Cleveland International Film festival, March 21st and I was there. Damned ! I didn't want to miss that and I did even more

I had the priviliege to discuss the film with the public. An opportunity which is given at The CIFF that is quiet unusual for shortmovie directors in that kind of big film festivals, I guess. And yet, in Cleveland they are like that ! If you want to have a look at the comment Kate O'Neil, a very enthousiastic producer, wrote on Forget-Me-Not: it's here
Tomorrow, I will go one step further : Forget-me-not will be screened to High school students and I will be there to answer their questions... Let's see !
