Over the moon to announce the good news that our lead actress Natali McCleary had won the Gort Award Best Actor at the 51st @bostonscifi this year! Thank you for the recognition of her stunning performance as Eliza in the film! Thank you @annadawsoncasting for putting together the amazing cast and every cast and crew for making this film!
The last image shows the GORT Award statuette made by designer Casey A. Riley from a WIRED magazine interview in 2010, Duncan Jones also got his GORT award for The Moon. ““I incorporated an amalgamation of classic and modern sci-fi influences, from the art deco lines of the robot Maria in Metropolis to the iconic imagery of the 1951 brutalist version of Gort [from The Day the Earth Stood Still] and the sleek interpretation of the remake,” Riley told Wired.com in an e-mail interview.”
We look forward to receive it soon and pass it to Natali!

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
