🌹 ONE VERY SPECIAL MOMENT 🌹
This was the moment that Katie Hatt (L), Winner of the 'Panel Prize', presented by headline sponsor Samantha Del Vigna (R), learned that the Trophy was not all that she had won, at LIFF23.
Katie was given star treatment at the 'Venice International Film Festival' - flights, accommodation, and a full access Press Pass (courtesy of Cinemaitaliano & Totally Local Lancaster). Quite something, and totally deserved.
At the LIFF23 Award Ceremony, Katie met and struck up a great friendship with the incredibly talented, star of dance, stage and television, LIFF Ambassador, Lisa O'Hare.
Despite their pressing schedules, they made time at the start of 2024 to run with an idea, and that's all it was, a loose idea. No plan. No budget. Just a phone camera, a computer, a few locations and some friends & family.
This partnership created the incredible short film, 'Movement', which had its premiere at LIFF, last year..
Katie was one of the Guests at this year Launch. She spoke candidly about the impact winning the Award has had on her personally and professionally. She is an exceptionally talented filmmaker, open to embracing opportunities, challenging herself to go in new directions, with the confidence that will undoubtedly lead to many Awards in the years to come.
🌹 LIFE IS ABOUT MOMENTS 🌹
