Trinidad Film “Trafficked” to Premiere at the Ft Lauderdale International Film Festival
FORT LAUDERDALE – TRAFFICKED, a film by the international award-winning director Sean Hodgkinson has been accepted into the 31st Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.
This marks the 20th time the film is being viewed by international audiences within one year of its premiere at the 2015 trinidad and tobago film festival where it was awarded best local feature.
“This entire journey has surpassed our wildest dreams,” Hodgkinson said. “The Quirky Family can stand tall wherever they are in the world as they have surely made Trinidad and Tobago proud. They have represented the Caribbean on the world stage and have done a great job.”
“Trafficked is based on a true story so we also really have to thank Eye On Dependency for sharing the stories of those people who have experienced these horrors. Co-executive producer Garth St. Clair and his wife Natasha, hosts of the radio programme Eye on Dependency are very passionate people who work hard to bring this message to the public. I hope that this film continues to bring the reality of human and drug trafficking to people around the world.”
The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival is happening from November 4-20 at the Sunrise Civic Centre. Trafficked screens on Sunday November 13th at 2:30 p.m.
“We are very thankful to the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival for choosing us,” said Tracey Alonzo, Chief Operations Officer of Quirky Films. “This is a great indication that the Quirky brand continues to grow from strength to strength.”
Coming up to Fort Lauderdale, Trafficked screened to sold out audiences in Toronto and Barbados. In September, it was an official selection of the Caribbean Tales Film Festival in Toronto and in Barbados, it screened at the Barbados Visual Media Arts Festival in October.
