Funny enough after the first initial mess up, the Video managed to play 3 times. So I guess I'll leave those up to remind myself not to take these technical programmes for granted.
And I sincerely hope I did not mess up your Sunday evening plans, and apologise for the mess up.

Lower the importance and a solution would reveal itself. A solid lesson for myself to learn.

Meanwhile, here's the initial post which disappeared with the first Programmed Premier.

Welcome to the Award Ceremony of the Wide to Tall Film Festival finale. Today we will conclude and share the winners of the Student, Open and 360 Immersive Categories.

We will also introduce and celebrate the people behind the scenes who've been with us from the beginning all the way through to today. Working tirelessly to bring this festival to life, and to you.

We will also review the festival and I will share the framework from which we have reviewed, to share mindset tips which have helped pull this mission impossible to the success of the turn out today! I look forward to seeing you then.

The centre of storytelling, especially on a 2D screen, is all about moving people. Invoking emotions that tug at the heartstrings. Great films feel multidimensional, and that is why we have an award category called 'Best Expression', for films that have excelled in putting the audience into the environment, expressing their voice in an indigenous, authentic way.
