Hello everyone! I hope you’re having a joyful and safe summer!
I’m thrilled to announce that The Book of Ruth has won the Best Family Short Jury Award at the Deep in the Heart Film Festival.
I was in Texas for what was a wonderful festival, adopted by a lovely community of filmmakers and people who are passionate about art and creativity, and we were very humbled by the win and by the fact that the film was welcomed with open arms and so much love.
I got to give an acceptance speech for the first time ever, so it was very unplanned. Nonetheless, here it is:
If you’re in Texas, you can still watch the film online through 7/31 right here.
The virtual edition of the festival also included a Q&A with multiple filmmakers and I was glad I got to take a part in that. You can watch it here.

I’m also thrilled to announce The Book of Ruth will be making its UK premiere in September at the Exit 6 Film Festival.
The event will be mostly virtual but there will be one physical day and we’ll make sure to have representatives there!
Excited to finally make it across the pond and can’t wait to share the film with our friends in the UK!
The world is slowly getting back to normal and film festivals are finally taking place in person again!
JDIFF was such a wonderful experience, but there’s more ahead!
Most importantly, next week The Book of Ruthwill be screening IN PERSON at the Queens World Film Festival right here in NY! We never had the chance to have a physical premiere for our friends here in our city, so this is really exciting. If you attend, please come and say hi!
