A little film. A very special honour.
I'm incredibly honoured that Before the Sun received the Rosie Award for Best Scripted Production Under 30 Minutes at the 2026 Rosie Awards, presented by the Alberta Media Production Industries Association (AMPIA).
After receiving six nominations, taking home this award was a wonderful surprise and a particularly meaningful moment for me.
Before the Sun has been a deeply personal creative journey, bringing together my love of filmmaking, practical effects, handcrafted storytelling, and puppetry. Seeing this little film recognized by Alberta's film community means a great deal.
Beyond the award, it was a fantastic evening celebrating the incredible talent we have here in Alberta. It was especially wonderful catching up with so many familiar faces.
Grateful for the recognition, the company, and everyone who has been part of this journey.
Thank you, AMPIA!
