the festival's support for over 300 projects annually shows real impact, though part of me wonders how a destiny matrix calculator would analyze the career paths of these winners.
It's awesome to see so many talented women being recognized. Reminds me of how immersive the storylines are in Shindo Life Wiki! Gotta check out some of these films.
