Narrative
Powerful fiction is built on a foundation of truth. Even the most fantastic stories benefit from grounded, universal themes. If you can reveal the inner lives of your characters and make their journey matter, then your path just might end in victory.

Documentary
The best documentaries don’t simply tell a story. They tell the story. Shine a light on the struggles, strengths, and singular subjects that often go overlooked. In this category, keeping it real is the only way to win.
