🎉 We did it! "Objects of Desire" just won Best Screenplay at the Chatham-Kent International Film Festival! 🏆 Huge props to our queen Ryan Benish (aka Chloe Kerrigan), who brought all the glamour, grit, and sass to this story of a toxic performer finding her true self. 👑 Winning this award is a big step toward our dream of making this film locally in Chatham-Kent!
