I love the philosophy of the Monza Film Fest and I was excited to submit my short film "The Days of Knight: Chapter 3". I was so honored to receive an "official selection" and thrilled to have won an "Honorable Mention - Screenplay" award. Thank you to the amazing team at the Monza Film Fest and the judges! Truly an honor for the opportunity! I'll be back again!
