I’m truly grateful to the San Sebastián International Underwater Film Festival (CIMASUB 2025) in Spain for selecting my film “The Tiny Wonders of Anilao” as the Winner in the Music Short Film category, and for honoring it with the Gold Award and 1st Prize.
My wife and I attended the festival, and we were welcomed with real warmth. Everything was well organized, and the historic theater gave the whole event a special feel. We also had a great time meeting documentary and underwater filmmakers from around the world and sharing stories.
A sincere thank-you to the jury, CIMASUB team, and all sponsors for putting together such an excellent festival!
