2022 ReelHeART – Official Film And Documentary Selections Announced

As we pass the 2+ year mark of the Covid19 Worldwide Pandemic, our HeARTs go out to those we still continue to lose around the world.
We also want to show appreciation to everyone that helped us live a somewhat comfortable existence during these challenging times.

We extend our Gratitude to all the Frontline Workers in
HealthCare, Food and Beverage, Retail, Supermarkets, City Services, Pharmacies, Delivery Personnel and last but certainly not least, Teachers.
We could not have existed in this ‘New Normal’ without your tireless efforts.
Thank You
