What Are Emotions? was honored with Best Young Actress and Best Web/New Media at FICOCC, and we are incredibly grateful for the recognition. The May 2025 edition made us feel truly seen. Communication was clear, laurels and materials were delivered promptly, and the team made the process feel thoughtful and personal. I appreciate how FICOCC uplifts creators from around the globe and feel honored to be featured alongside such talented storytellers.
