Winner RIMINI International Indie Film Awards








I am particularly delighted and deeply proud to receive these two artistic awards, as I have long been a profound admirer of the filmmaker Federico Fellini, several of whose cinematic masterpieces were created in the beautiful Italian town of Rimini—the very place where these honours originate.

I extend my sincere gratitude to the jury and everyone involved for recognising my film Not Without Gloves with the distinctions of BEST POETRY FILM & BEST SPIRITUAL FILM. I am profoundly moved that you have bestowed upon my film The Rorschach Test the 2025 awards for BEST EXPERIMENTAL DIRECTOR 2025, BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY & BEST EXPERIMENTAL EDITING.
It is a tremendous honour.
I am immensely proud and grateful. My heartfelt thanks go to the jury and all those involved.
A special acknowledgment is due for the extraordinary work you do in supporting filmmakers like myself:
—for the outstanding music in Not Without Gloves and The Rorschach Test
—the exceptionally talented actor who appeared in The Rorschach Test.
Best regards,
