Seventeen year-old First Nations filmmaker Kara Rose graduated out of SF3’s junior categories and into a dual Best Female Creative and First Nations award, for her documentary eight minutes forty six seconds. Her award comes with a one-of-a-kind mentorship from Australian journalist and writer Stan Grant.
