Jury Statement
“The jury wants to recognize this film for its protagonist’s subtly defiant nature against aging and loneliness, and for how the film tastefully weaves a simple and yet very meaningful slice of life around her. The jury recognizes NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY by Emily Everhard with a special mention for comedy.”
