Here is a note from our Winner- 

Louis Akkermans is 21 years old and beginning his MA in Public Interest Media and Communication. Interested in filmmaking, he hopes to find a path that would allow him to write for the screen, though video production as a whole is a passion of his and one he could inhabit in any facet. Topics he is interested in are politics, philosophy, inter/intrapersonal relationships, and intimacy/loneliness.
