To Michael G & everyone at ImageOut, WOOT & thank you!!! I'm thrilled to bits and incredibly honored. I also really want to kiss very single member of the audience that showed us love!!!
The whole cast and crew worked so hard and toiled just for food and love! It is so awesome to know that there was an audience out there that took the time and made the effort to show their appreciation for our little film with their votes.
To the fierce and fabulous festival audience of ImageOut, we heart you all right back!!!
Thank you!!!!

Thanks Christine for stopping by here! You know how much I love FFC so it's great to actually have the audience agree with me. It's just such a departure from many lez shorts we've seen. More power to you and your hardworking cast and crew! And I hope to see more films from you in the future.
We'll have to get together in Toronto soon!
Meant to write "...really want to kiss *every* single member of the audience.." in earlier comment. And if they happen to be *very* single, that is a fun bonus!
Thanks again from the cast and crew of FFC for the awesome love!!!
And yes, hope to see you in Toronto soon, Michael!
Glad to know some of my favorite shorts "made the cut"!
