Piercing Ken Thoughts: Congratulations to these winners. Truth be told I didn’t see any of these films but one thing I like about a festival like this is that it encourages you to look into them and there is no better place to start than with the winner of an awards event. What do you readers think about this rundown? Did you participate in the Tribeca Festival this time around and see some of these films? Chime in down below if you did and let us know what you thought about the films. If not, let’s all see about catching one or two of them when time permits. That’s all I have for now so I will see you again soon. Please keep safe out there until that time.
