Yes, Mother has barely begun it's festival run and we already have some terrific news to share! Our teammate Cynthia Gray's script reached the Semis at London's Lonely Wolf International Film Festival and she won 1st Place for her FX MakeUp and 2nd Place in the Scream Queen Competition at The International Horror Hotel in Cleveland. The film itself made it's World Premiere to a receptive audience and won First Place in the category of Micro-Suspense/Thriller! Jen was nominated for Best Ohio Actress and Best Editor, as well. We were surprised when Jen was drafted to be on the Directors' Panel and Cynthia was drafted on the Actors' Panel at the last minute. We had a great time! Next up, Long Island International Film Expo in New York. We will screen in the "Bad Blood" block, Saturday, July 16th at 4:00 PM.
Scroll a bit for the trailer and still frames below.

The Bride Price has finished it's film festival run with some very special accolades. Jen was named Female Filmmaker of the Year at Austin Revolution Film Festival but also, she found herself a Finalist for the Humanitarian Award from Accolade Global Film Competition, truly a special honor. Coming in behind a doc about Matt Damon's world water charity is A-Okay with us. Overall, the film won four Best Documentary awards plus several other awards and nominations for Best Director.
Quite a special experience for a film that means so much to us at leapyear.
Up next, we are working on submissions to PBS stations. It seems to us that the documentary is a good fit for PBS. We shall see if they agree.
