Michelle Flowers-Taylor Wins Awards in Best Shorts Film Competition
(Seattle, WA, April 14, 2022) – Michelle Flowers-Taylor, of Legacy First Partners, has won two prestigious awards: the Award of Excellence, and the Award of Excellence Special Mention from The Best Shorts Film Competition. The awards were given for Michelle Flowers-Taylor’s exciting Special Purpose Production, Reimagining Freedom West, which features the activism of 1,000+ multi-cultural residents fighting to protect their homes, and it follows their struggle to advance the $2Billion Freedom West 2.0 revitalization project to deliver on the economic empowerment promises made to them over 40 years ago.
Reimagining Freedom West features the exceptional actor, humanitarian and native San Franciscan, Danny Glover, who narrated the production. “I was fortunate enough to do this wonderful project documentary because it brought back so much, so many memories that I’ve had from the time that I was a child. All those memories began to kind of flourish in me of supporting those people who have been removed because of gentrification, but that is certainly a part of why this is so important for me to be a part of this project now,” stated Mr. Glover. For his contribution to Reimagining Freedom West, Mr. Glover received The Best Shorts Film Competition’sAward of Excellence: Narration / Voice-Over Talent.
In winning Best Shorts Awards, Michelle Flowers-Taylor joins the ranks of other high-profile winners of this internationally respected award including Academy Award winner Mr. Hublot from Laurent Witz from Luxembourg, 2021 Academy Award-nominee Doug Roland for the short film Feeling Through, Disney Interactive for Vinlymation: A Love Story and so many more.
