The film "Cookie?" has been selected to be screened at Little Big Shots – Australia's International Film Festival for Kids. This is the 15th annual Australian film festival for children, with more than 20,000 viewers from all over the country. The films are screened in major cities across Australia.
The film was also screened at festivals in Russia, London, Memphis, and as part of Short Film Day, it was shown to audiences in 11 cinemas in Slovakia.
The short film "A Cookie?" is a bachelor's thesis on the theme of a fairy tale. It is about a lonely little boy who has no friends. He lives in a house far from the town and goes to school on a bicycle. However, one day his classmates destroy it. The boy dreams of a new bicycle under the Christmas tree, but instead of it, another, essentially unexpected wish comes true. He gains a friend, although not the one you would imagine...

Quote from the invitation:
Congratulations! Kids Video Connection's review panel thinks your film Cookie? is ideal for our film festival. We all greatly appreciated the film's creativity and beautiful audio and visuals, and we are excited to screen it for our audiences during the festival between June 15th and 27th (exact schedule TBA.)
While we would love to have you present at the festival here in Atlanta, if this is not a possibility I hope we can at least arrange an interview through video conferencing for the audience on the day of the screening.
