Adina's Deck won Best Educational Student Film!
Adina’s Deck won the award for Best Educational Film in the student category of the 2008 International Family Film Festival!
We are so happy that IFFF recognized the importance of Cyber Bullying education. The Film Festival was fantastic. All four lead actresses and directors Debbie and Jason traveled down to the event, which was held at the Raleigh Studios on Melrose in Hollywood.

Kelcie Stranahan, aka “Skye” outside of the IFFF tent, looking much happier than when she was portraying a cyber bullying victim in Adina’s Deck!
Debbie and Carl Borack, the producer of films such as Alice and Saving Shiloh. Debbie worked with Carl on Saving Shiloh, one hot month in Missouri! Sandy Tung, the director of Alice was also there. Debbie didn’t get a chance to take a picture, but was very happy to be reunited with them!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to those of you who came out and supported Adina’s Deck at the IFFF! The amazing turn out from cast, crew and family members who drove hundreds of miles is the very reason this project is where it is today. Your endless support means everything!
