I am super happy to have received a winner award in a country with such a different culture than my Mexican grafiti documentary was made in...the connection between the human beings seems to be based on deeper values that overcome cultural differences!! Thank you!

Thank you for making The Girl Who Faded Away a Nominee for Best Music Video. It is an honor and I recommend this festival.
