We have those moments when we sit down and look where we are. Sometimes followed by that is the thought, "is this where I thought I'd be?" or "is this where I should be in my life?". The pandemic embodied this moment for me. I was lucky enough to be so devoted to my craft and to have that as my clear focus, but it did leave me wondering, "what if I didn't?" I pondered where I would have been mentally and emotionally if not for that. It abundantly clarified how precious our time is and what the focus should be on. I'm lucky to have this creative outlet and found my path in this life. That's all I want for anyone else. I want them to be happy with their choices for themselves and their life. It's a journey for us all; we have the time we need to take it and should not take that for granted.

Best Director – Season August 2023
Diana Ezerex - (I Need You To) Feel Me / Micha Roth / Germany 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOLCI4o7IUo 
"I need you to feel me, cause I can't be real when you're fragile but stronger." The song denounces white fragility and basic defensive reactions by privileged individuals when discriminatory behavior is pointed out. The fact that there are so few opportunities to honestly point out grievances - especially when they affect you personally - makes social change more difficult and often results in a lack of opportunities to develop as an individual. "I need you to feel me, I need you to see that I can't do this much longer." The music shows a group of people to which Diana tries to gain access to by reaching out to them, a box scene in which Diana tries to defend herself against a boxing professional, symbolizing the phenomenon of white fragility and defensiveness.
