Can We Get Your Attention, Please?

And that's what we did! We are so happy that the 3rd Annual I See You Awards® had no problem getting the attention of the audience we're here to serve: the low-budget independent film community!


The feedback we've been receiving has been so rewarding, we can't help but smile!

Terri Lee Chandler, founder, and Chris Cruise, awards co-host, are all smiles on the Blue Carpet!

Here's just some of the feedback we've received since the awards ceremony wrapped up on August 25th:
