Of these, Baker personally won four, as the film’s director, producer, editor, and screenwriter.

Director Mike Baker also encouraged the audience and the millions who were watching around the world to go back and watch films in the theatre. He mentioned that movie watching was an experience and that he will always make films for the big screen. Producers Alex Coco and Canadian Samanthan Quan of the film mentioned when winning the Best Picture, the power of independent cinema.
