It was a real honor to have received an exceptional merit for directing. This was my first documentary and first award. It motivated me to continue to improve on the original documentary and make it even better.

We're delighted and honored to have been given a Merit Award for our feature film, JUST THE TRUTH. WRPN in all of its festivals is so very supportive of women and of all indie filmmakers. Its encouragement has been a boost to our cast and crew. Our thanks to everyone at WRPN who makes this festival possible!
