Proud and honored to announce Omo Child: The River and the Bush has won best documentary at the 29th Palm Beach International Film Festival! For the record - to date we have been in four festivals, won three awards, two for best documentary. It's humbling...truly humbling.

It’s a Wrap – Picture Lock!
Omo Child: The River and the Bush has been 5 years in the making and we are so happy, proud, excited (you name it!) to be in Hollywood at Light Iron doing final color! Five days of tedious (but fun) work with our colorist Paul Sage and we are done! Now it's time to get our film out into the world. It's almost hard to believe and also a little hard to let our baby go out into the world, but the time has come. Thank you to everyone at Light Iron for the your patience and dedication and helping to make our film look as beautiful as we knew it could look.
