Agata Gotova was presented the Festival’s Award for Best Actress.

“I feel like I’m a part of a rags to riches Hollywood story, coming from nowhere to this podium” said Gotova, as she was presented with the award. “And I’m very thankful that out of the hundreds of actresses that were considered that you chose me,” she added. “Say it in Russian is much like Agata’s story,” said Kenneth Eade, Executive Producer. “Coming from Russia, you find that doors in Hollywood are closed. People questioned why we would shoot an independent film in three countries, and score original music with a full orchestra when most independent films go straight to video.” said distributor Jerry Dalton of Dalton Pictures & Entertainment. “This one is special, because it’s not like most independent films.” The film debuts on the big screen May 4th in 95 cities across the United States as part of Dalton Pictures and Carmike Cinemas’ historic Independent Film Series, which began last week.
