This years Festival is centered on the power film has to create change and shape our cultural moment.
As an emerging filmmaker, I am incredibly grateful for their support and belief in me and my work.
I am honored, shocked, and endlessly grateful.

Its beyond me to have my work recognized in this way, said Lieber.
Its especially meaningful to receive the Colin Higgins Youth Grant because my late mothers favorite film wasHarold and Maude.
I cant help but think of her during this time.
