    I created Keep It Short Virtual Film Festival to Celebrate all my Young Creatives out there, that continues to thrive, following their passion, in spite of all the obstacles they may face.

I also wanted to reach out to my International community to curate short urban stories, from all over the world. I wanted to see what was good, in everybody hood.
