Thank you to Dread Central for this nice write-up on VICTIM NO. 6 winning the Etheria Spirit Award at Nightmares Film Festival!

“I want to thank Stacy Pippi Hammon and Etheria Film Festival for this award, but more importantly for their mission to showcase the genre talent of female filmmakers and their goal of one day becoming obsolete once industry equality has been achieved. I also want to thank my writer/director and co-producer Nancy Menagh. We are honored to be the first recipients of this award!” – Heather Brittain
