Little-known film with no remarkable actors. Questionable sources also found within article, not sure if the award is good enough to prove notability? Suspected originally created by film creator as a way of self-promotion. Nightfury 10:01, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I wish the folks behind this film the best of luck, but there's just not sufficient coverage for notability (as Wikipedia defines it). Neither of the film festival awards are sufficient to confer notability. They are both small, recently established festivals (2 years each), with little external attention. CIFF in particular openly advertises the large number of award categories as a draw for filmmakers to enter films into competition there (because that makes a larger percentage of the field into winners, of course), and the award at Fameus is effectively a third place award. These do not satisfy NFILM #3. And beyond the minor festivals, the closest thing to a reliable source is this snippet of an article, which is really just a vehicle for the trailer. I can't find any full reviews in the industry media, just a scant handful of user-submitted opinions that don't meet project standards. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:31, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
