BEST FEMALE FILM - SAN DIEGO FILM WEEK 2022
Here at Lead Wolf, we’re in the business of helping our clients succeed, assisting them in getting clarity in their goals, and always supporting them.
We are proud to announce that the short film Lead Wolf Films worked on, “Don’t Let Me Sink”, has won Best Female Film at the San Diego Filmweek 2022. This film was written and directed by Vu Mai, with edition and photography direction by Oscar Riveros. Together with the help of a team of creative individuals often involved in other Lead Wolf Productions, we were able to complete the film in April 2022 and enter the film into various competitions. This is truly a humbling experience and we look forward to growing and continuing to excel in more productions to come.
Congratulations to Vu Mai who is also a producer at Lead Wolf, her work comes from the heart and this film was no exception. We want to thank our amazing diverse crew and cast that made this possible.
