Here’s why I was already flying high before the Coney Island Film Festival’s awards ceremony last night:
🎢 I went on the Cyclone rollercoaster before our screening (in the rain, like a loon)
🌠Met up with friends, family, cast, and crew for lunch at Nathan’s Famous where my own parents went as kids!
💜 Got to watch the film with members of our cast and crew who made this movie POSSIBLE, as well as family and friends who have had my back since day 1.
😻 Hung out with the Sideshow Cat who lives in the Freak Show bar because Coney Island rules.
And THEN—as if the day hadn’t been wonderful and fulfilling enough—Empire Waist was awarded BEST FEATURE by the Coney Island Film Festival.
I am SO PROUD of our cast and crew and beyond grateful to the Coney Island Film Festival team for making our NY debut such a dream.
Next stop: Seattle! We’ll be screening at SIFF May 16th and 18th — spread the word! 🥳
With love & Nathan’s,
Claire
Claire! Fantastic! Congratulations!
