“I am thrilled to see 'Call Me' being screened and recognised at such a prestigious movie event, Golden State Film Festival, held at such an iconic world-renowned movie theatre, right on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Hollywood,” says Zasowski. “I have always enjoyed watching romantic comedies genre so seeing 'Call Me' being awarded in romantic comedy category, Best International Romantic Comedy Short, is very special. I am delighted that Aemy Niafeliz, an actress and pop artist, who portrayed the role of Aemy could joined me for the screening night, the red carpet event and the awards ceremony at the film festival,” adds Zasowski.
“Call Me” is one of the very first short films written, directed, and starred in by Arek Zasowski with Maegan Coker, Sumit Sharma, Mary Uranta, Viola Zasowska, Aemy Niafeliz, Paul A. Taylor and Olga Malchevska, amongst other talent.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jon Grusha and Peter Greene, the Golden State Film Festival Organisers, for creating such a fantastic movie event and for recognising 'Call Me'. Fabulous cinematic creative atmosphere, great selection of short and feature films, red carpet photo opportunity and meeting inspiring members of the audience who came to see 'Call Me' on Sunday night as well as meeting and networking with very talented filmmakers, actors, directors, writers and producers was very special. Truly unforgettable event,” adds Zasowski.
