I am very proud to report that the award winning feature documentary, “In A Dream” directed by Jeremiah Zagar has been shortlisted for an Academy Award for 2009. I had the honour of working on this film for 7 months, 6 days a week, over 10 hours a day and can honestly say that I never got bored or stressed, and am truly humbled to have been a part of it. Nominations are announced late January 2009 – let’s keep our fingers crossed!
