Our film LEXIE CANNES racked up numerous awards during the American International Film Festival competition.
Among the awards were Best Narrative Feature Picture, Best Director, Best Actress for Courtney O'Donnell, Best Supporting
Actor/Actress for Austin Richey and Jody Barrong. Awards for Original Music Score, Edting and Cinematography were also given.
While the AIFF is a relatively new film festival, it offers true indie filmmakers an opportunity to standout
among the glut of Hollywood-based "indie" films finding their way into many mainstream film festivals these days. Hopefully
AIFF and competition festivals like it continue to thrive, providing alternative means of exposure for true indie filmmakers.
The programmers plan an exhibition of some of the year's best films and I've been told that LEXIE CANNES is
on that list. I'll follow up with when and where as it becomes available.

as film fans. This festival will be the first one officially show the film in Europe.
[From the festival's website:]
In a country where gay and Roma people are avoided by most (as shown by the E.U. Fundamental
Rights Agency), the festival aims to send an accurate and efficient message about cultural diversity and accepting individual
values. Every year, free entrance is granted to all these events: the purpose of the festival is not to obtain money, but
to promote democracy, tolerance and diversity.
