Thanks to everyone at HFF and to our amazing supporters for believing in *Grapple*. Stay tuned for more updates as we head into production!

🎉 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! We’re endlessly grateful to our local film community and the fabulous LGBTQ+ supporters for joining us on this journey. Onward to the main stage, darlings! 💋✨
