Exciting news! This weekend Thank You For The Rain took home the Sim Award for Best Cinematography in a Feature at the annual Women in Film & Television Vancouver film festival. Thank you so much, #VIWFF2019!
"The shooting collaboration between cinematographer and subject, who had never used a camera, was compelling. It worked beautifully, from Kenya to Norway. The process of filmmaking inspired the subject to participate fully in the telling of his story, which lends charisma and energy to the film. The imagery used by both filmmaker and subject shapes the story, and sheds light on their relationship, in a very real and relatable way."
