I am thrilled to have been graced with the Winner status for "Best Original Sound Design" for the opening theme to my Blade Runner fan film (NEXUS 10) titled 'Memoires of a Blade Runner'. The continual communication and status updates from the Organisers regarding my entry was second to none, and I would like to personally thank each person who took the time to listen to my score. Thank you to all.

We thank you most kindly for allowing story tellers to share their voice in India! Blessings and continued prosperity, as we thank God for connecting us together. Sybil Jatta Documentary Filmmaker

Helezon Akışkan'ı festivalinde gösteren ve ödüle layık gören Rameshwaram IFF'ye teşekkür ederim. Filmim Hindistan'da çoğu festivalden ödül aldı ve maille bildirildi fakat Rameshwaram'ın bu konuda gelişmesi gerek diye düşünüyorum.
