Happy Holidays, everyone! We have been so caught up with post-grad life that we’re announcing this pretty late:

Hanami has been nominated for The Best Student Film at the Festival TOFUZI 2016 in Batumi, Georgia and has been accepted to the Free Net World Film Festival in Nis, Serbia!

We’re so honored to have our film featured in these festivals and hope it continues to sprout even more!
