Wow. Thank you to the Team Machine members that could join me at the #lighthouseinternationalfilmfestival and all the others that helped make this possible. A Simple Machine won a special Jury award and the audience award for Best narrative feature. So proud! A huge thank you to everyone at LIFF. I was blown away by the love, hospitality and quality of the films there.🙏
