I was beaming with pride and joy when I found out that Shore Thing, an amazing film that I play a part in, won a prestigious award for Best Suspense Film of the acclaimed New York International Independent Film and Video Festival! I attended the Awards Gala held on July 12th at the posh Club BLVD in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood! Shore Thing was produced and directed by the multi-talented Lovari with Photography and Cinematography by James Hill. We all had a great time at the awards banquet with Lovari, James Hill, Rashika Pickett, Ahmad Hilton, Kathyrn Dunn and others, mingling with all the film-makers and festival directors.
