Cascadia Film & Television Critics Association (@cascadiacritics.bsky.social, which I helped found!) have named @sophyromvari.bsky.social Blue Heron the Best Cascadian Film of 2025!
Link in the first reply for more details.
And the winner of the 2025 Best Cascadian Film goes to Blue Heron, from writer and director Sophy Romvari who makes a semi autobiographical story about immigrating to Vancouver Island in the 90’s and the pressure it had on her family.
