Doing something this dope with this amazing group of people is definitely one of the highlights of an otherwise extremely challenging year. While it shows no signs of slowing down, we keep pushing and enjoying the moments that make us full. Thank you to @maorikarmael and everyone at @blackstarfest for being a beacon of light at all times. ❤️ #blackstar20solit Drone 📸by @amiraclephotographs #RepostPlus @blackstarfest - - - - - - And we made it! The 9th annual BlackStar Film Festival is in the books — and we're ready for some sleep 😌.
