Dear Committee Members,
We are so honoured to have Dreamscapes awarded First Place at the Cinema Touching Disability Film Festival. Thank you for recognizing the work and vision behind this project. It truly means so much to us to have it celebrated among such inspiring filmmakers and stories.
Films that center disability are vital because they expand how we understand and represent lived experience. They challenge stereotypes, amplify underrepresented voices, and invite empathy through authentic storytelling. Festivals like Cinema Touching Disability create essential space for these perspectives, reminding us that inclusion in art isn’t just about visibility, but about reshaping the narratives we tell and who gets to tell them.
We deeply appreciate the time and care you put into organizing and judging the festival. Your support and recognition encourage us to continue creating and sharing work that sparks conversation and connection through film.
With gratitude,
Ghost Rooster Collective
