"We are so incredibly thrilled to have won Manhattan Short Film Festival! This festival is one of the most special places for a filmmaker to showcase their work. We always wanted Sylvia to be watched and loved by audiences and this is the only film festival reaching audiences worldwide, and to have their vote means more to us than anything. Having watched all 10 films, the standard was exceptional and we did not expect to win against such a great selection. We cannot thank enough, Nick Mason and the amazing team at Manhattan Short and all the people who watched, voted and wrote to us personally about Sylvia. To have touched so many people is a wonderful feeling and we are truly honored that you voted for our film."
