Short film wins festival

We are happy to announce that a 4 minute version of the film “Hidden Voices: Urban Refugees in Nairobi, Kenya” has won in the documentary people/places category at the Can-Do International Film Festival and Competition.  This first time festival is open to projects shot with the Canon line of DSLR’s.  It was a great fit for us (we shot on the Canon 7D) and we look forward to finishing the longer version of the film this summer.

You can also view the film in the video portfolio section of our website.
