My name is Grace,I have been involved in film and photography in some capacity for 10 years, starting out alongside my dad working in performance arts videography and capture. In more recent years I’ve supported Artizan Galley, producing documentary films and event coverage with their artists and partners.  I am pleased to be invited back for a second year to judge following an incredible year with the festival in 2019. I’m excited to see what new talent 2020 brings.
