We were thrilled to be invited by the Burbank International Film Festival to be the opening night film of the 5th Annual Festival this past September, despite the fact that our film was only a rough cut at the time. But we were even more surprised (and flattered), to find out that we were being honored with an award!

“CinemAbility” and our director Jenni Gold became the first ever recipient of BIFF’s “Diversity Award,” despite the film being a full 30 minutes longer than it’s final Director’s Cut.

We appreciate this wonderful honor, as well as all of those who came out to support us at the fabulous AMC 16 Theater in Burbank, CA, including our new friend Jeff Rector who organized this spectacular event. We proudly invite anyone who saw this award-winning early cut of the film to come check us out again, as we believe it’s even better now than ever! Thanks again for a great night, Burbank!
