00:54And the painter, his soul, his legacy will come unto me and suffer unto me, deep in the darkness, where he will forever exist in my shadow.
01:24I am forever.
01:54Hi, I'm J.M. Steli, the writer, director, and creator of the new movie called The Void.
02:00I want to say thank you to the Cannes World Film Festival for nominating us and selecting us as the winner for the best black and white film.
02:12We worked really hard on this film.
02:15It was a short time shooting the film and then about a year of going through the editing process and getting through that side of things off and on.
02:26But we really do appreciate it here.
02:29I know my actors, Jared Bekens and Kirsten and Katie, all definitely appreciate all the love and support we've been getting from the film festival circuit, especially this wonderful film festival out in Cannes, France.
02:46I would also like to send out a special thank you to Carolina Bamba and for creating such a wonderful festival that enriches the lives and pushes forth the art of filmmaking for everyone.
03:03So, again, thank you all. Thanks to the jury and we hope to continue to make films and push them forward through festivals just like this. Thank you so much.
