I feel very fortunate that could be a part of it. I would like to thanks judges and everyone in International Student Creative Award in Osaka.

I'm so happy to have won an award for my very first documentary. I would like to thanks all my crew member for their effort on this film and also to ISCA Organizer and Jury member. It's really the great honor to participate International Student Creative Award 2015 and getting the first place!

We are very happy and honored to have been awarded with International Student Creative Award. It is truly amazing to see how our work has reached people across the world, encouraging us to pursue new projects like "Shift".

2nd Prize

EasyCare

Blomme Molenstra

KASK (School Of Arts) Ghent(Belgium)

It’s a joy to arrive at a festival with such a great hospitality from the staff and jury. When you make a film that’s a little off beat, shows the world from another view and is different from the usual, it can be hard to become accepted in a lot of festivals. I praise this open minded jury that dares to vote for the less conventional. ISCA is definitely something I'll be recommending to other student filmmakers. Thank you for the award and the wonderfull experience.

2nd Prize
