Fantastic weekend for my animated short film, “Will I Dance Again?” (widafilm), and now I’m pleased to announce that our first WIN came from my home state of Arkansas at @fayettevillefilmfest as Best Animation 2026! 🏆✨ Filmmakers who love the craft of making movies, make sure you submit your films to Fayetteville Film Festival next year!

@buddycampbell33 who voiced Dr. Andrew Sullivan, one of the heroes from the movie is also an Arkansas native, and we loved being in Fayetteville this weekend!

I am grateful that “Will I Dance Again?” inspired people like @chasegoforth, one of the festival board members who personally related to the theme of our film of empowering amputees. Shout out to his fellow board member @iamnatoshadevon who helped make the weekend so fabulous and also did a great job co-moderating our Q&A.

“Will I Dance Again?” is the story of Daina Bradley, a survivor of the Oklahoma City Bombing. The bomb took her mother, son, daughter, AND right leg, but it did not take her fight.
