H.E.L.I.O.S WINS AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD AT FICAM 2025!

Sam Clark, Anthony Campoli, Robert Girolami, Ben Bisanti and Adrien Nicholas on receiving the Audience Choice Award for H.E.L.I.O.S

On October 23, H.E.L.I.O.S. screened at the Festival International de Cinéma Adapté de Montréal - FICAM, and we are excited to share that the film has won the Audience Choice Award!

The film was represented by Sam Clark, Anthony Campoli, Robert Girolami, Ben Bisanti, and Adrien Nicholas from the Creative Media Lab Co-lab team. The team took part in an open discussion panel where they spoke about the creative process behind the film and the collaborative work that brought the story to life.

Winning the Audience Choice Award is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the viewers - the people who watched the film, connected with the story, and chose to celebrate it. To everyone who voted, supported, shared, and encouraged the team along the way: thank you.

We are incredibly proud of our filmmakers and grateful to FICAM for hosting such an inclusive and inspiring event. Being a part of this festival reminded us why we create: to connect with others, to share perspectives, and to spark conversation.

To the entire H.E.L.I.O.S. cast and crew - CONGRATULATIONS on this achievement! Here’s to more years of storytelling, filmmaking, and moments like this!
