    We were incredibly honoured and thrilled to have been selected from among so many amazing films to have the Greek premiere of our short film Sugar by Aušra Giedraitytė at the wonderful Micro μ Festival. It was an inspiring experience to be part of such a vibrant celebration of cinema, and we’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to share our story with the passionate Greek audience.
