The short film highlighted an American NGO named <em>Give Children a Choice<\/em> and went on to become an Official Selection at the Newport Beach International Film Festival in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, he has teamed up with Shelby Baldock (MFA \u201816) and produced a powerful new feature film from the material, along with capturing original footage, adding a professional score and digging deeper into the stories that abound around this issue.<\/p>\n<p>The feature film, Bombie, is an Official Selection at the Raindance Film Festival in London this year and will have its world premiere
