Congratulations Besi!
We would like to congratulate Fulbright Turkish Student Program alumni Besi Adut on the Short Film Award she was given for her thesis film and for getting accepted to two film festivals. We wish her her great success in these festivals.
Below is Besi's message to the Fulbright family. We are looking forward to more good news from our students and alumni.
"Hello My Dear Friends & Allies,
I would like to update you with some good news. My thesis film Strange Little Girl got accepted to two more film festivals: The San Francisco Bay Area International Children Film Festival and the New Hope Film Festival.
We've been in five film festivals and got one best short film award so far. www.slgthemovie.com. Thanks for everyone for supporting me in the past or in the future.
Besi"
Besi's film has received comments like "We’re truly honored to exhibit your film" and "Wonderful student film. A story with heart and courage. The little girl's acting is excellent as she shows us her transformation and eventually reveals herself. The audience will pull for her throughout her struggle because her personality, imagination and talent flicker through. Supporting cast's acting also excellent. Nice camera work."
Congratulations, Besi!
