Thank you all, and Stage 32!!

We are absolutely thrilled and deeply grateful for being awarded the prestigious Grand Prize this year! On behalf of the entire team, I extend our heartfelt thanks to the judges and organizers for recognizing our film "The Black Box."

This recognition means the world to us and is a tremendous encouragement to continue our creative journey and produce more meaningful content. We poured our hearts and souls into making "The Black Box," and receiving this honor validates the passion and dedication we invested in the project.

My wife and I are overjoyed to celebrate this momentous occasion at Hollyshort in Los Angeles. To all those attending the festival or simply in town around that time, we would be delighted to meet and share our excitement with you!

Once again, thank you for this incredible honor. We are deeply moved and look forward to continuing to tell stories that resonate with audiences worldwide.

Cheers!

Best,

Olivier
