us feel as welcome as you did. Columbus was actually a

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your
countrymen in Ohio for the wonderful presentation
you put together for this year's Chris Awards ceremony.
I was overwhelmed by the friendliness and generosity
of the people involved with the Film Council.
You made the filmmakers feel welcome and appreciated
and it was a pleasure to be on the receiving end of
such grand hospitality."

"As independents and as makers of documentaries on
environmental subjects, we often feel like we are
laboring in obscurity. Receiving a Chris Award has
been a bright light in our journey through this business.
To have our work recognized by such a prestigious
Festival is an inspiration to keep going and a great source
of satisfaction for us. Thank you!"
