We're cheering for Celia Jaspers and her short film Milk, a short film about kindness, produced by Juanita Deely and Auriga Martin, which has been nominated for Best Screenplay in the 2021 Show Me Shorts Film Festival Awards. Winners will be announced on 17 October.
Milk has been accepted into 54 international festivals, including Show Me Shorts and has picked up 17 awards and 29 finalist nods. Celia says she's most proud of her recent wins for Best Female Director wins from the Montana International Film Fest and Best Director from New Creators film awards in France.
The Show Me Shorts Festival is one of the few major arts events that can still deliver in level 2.
