"Baker emphasized the necessity of cinema as a communal experience, stating, "If we don't reverse this trend, we'll be losing a vital part of our culture. This is my battle cry.""

The ceremony also honored other films and performances, demonstrating a vibrant, yet challenging landscape for independent filmmaking.
