We are up to 10 awards and 42 film festival screenings for our short film My Haggan Dream! What an incredible ride this has been. The short film, available for free online, tells the story of a young girl named Kaya, whose mysterious dream about a haggan, or sea turtle, leads her on a delightful quest to find sea turtles around her home island of Saipan. Funded by a generous grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, we are so happy that this short film is making such big waves. What have we won so far?
