This self-portrait resonated with audiences and curators across Canada. The film was selected for the Canadian Broadcast Corporation’s Emerging Directors Spotlight at Regent Park Film Festival (2020), won Best Experimental Film (2021) from the Hart House Film Board, and screened at the International Film Festival of South Asia(2021).
