We are thrilled and HONORED today. Our Short Film ACERBITY has been selected for 2 Film Festivals:

1. 27th Edition INTERNATIONAL POLICE AWARD ARTS FESTIVAL. October 23-29, 2023 in Milan, Italy. Only 20 films are selected every year at this multi-diverse worldwide Law Enforcement celebration.
THE PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL - We celebrate the action of the Police through all the performing arts that have given and give prestige to their mission. Cinema, Literature, Music, Television, Journalism, Theater and the world of Culture in general, have always found great inspiration from the job of the Police Officers, underlining their human dimension.
Participating in the daily life, and being a reference point for the citizens, the policeman lives daily with the pride of wearing his uniform, which has itself become a symbol.
