Our little film has taken its first step into the world. ❤️🎬 So happy to share that Finding Awesome has been Officially Selected for the 16th CMS International Children’s Film Festival 2027. 

Inspired by a true story, this film began with something that stayed with Varun and me: a little girl who refused to let a diagnosis define her. 
A diagnosis may tell you what you have. It doesn’t have to decide who you are. That has always been the heart of Finding Awesome, and it feels especially meaningful that one of its first homes will be a festival created for young audiences. ❤️ 

Varun and I are incredibly proud to have produced this film together alongside some truly special people.

Sameer, our problem-solver through it all, thank you for always finding a way. 
Marc, thank you for directing Evie’s world with such heart and sensitivity. 
Narjes, a very dear friend and brilliant DOP, your creativity elevated every frame. 
Yusuf, my brother from another mother and our wonderful editor, thank you for finding the emotion and rhythm that brought the story so beautifully together. 
And to Enrico and Amanda, thank you for your support and belief in the film. 
To Maisie, our incredible cast and every member of our crew, thank you for giving Finding Awesome your talent and heart. 

This first little milestone belongs to all of us. Our first laurel. ❤️ And the beginning of Finding Awesome’s festival journey. ✨

So grateful to see Decode Me reach this special milestone. This film was made to help autistic and ADHD women feel seen, understood and represented. As a woman from the tiny island of Malta, I never thought I'd get to this stage. 🥹

Thank you to our cast, crew, collaborators, supporters, festivals and everyone who has connected with the story. I’m incredibly proud of how far Decode Me has come and excited for what’s next.

Thank you for believing in this film. Thank you for believing in me.💛
