On the other hand, Academy winning is voting like anything else...you sure have politicians in your country, check out how they win harts&minds of the voters...overhyping some, but sure that might be the way as well...big players involve money as well, but there is a chance for beginners time to time...best recent example is this duo from my country got nominated twice in 2020 best foreign film and best documentary...Tamara and Ljubo being one of the modest filmmakers I know, be sure to talk to people like this, sponge their experiences and how they've made it to the Oscars
Hey Kiril
Thank you for your advice, yes Mad max was filmed there, as well as some parts of A space Odessy and others.
I have learned quite a lot on this journey, even doing this now with the Oscars.
nice
Congrats on all your success! Thank you for sharing your story. It inspires me that someone who "looks like me" has the drive and courage to make it happen. I look forward to honoring you at the Oscars. Continue to be great!

Hey Anthony
Thank you for your kind words, and if it wasn't for God there is no way I would have made it this far truly. We continue to push.

I know first hand the challenges it takes to make short films, let alone a feature, and glory be to God, that you managed to pull it off with your team. For truly nothing is impossible to them who believe. I pray that the film make it all the way, and inspires even more people. All the best my sister, and don’t stop there. I see more in your future.
