Hold Onto Me Film: Sundance Winner Myrsini Aristidou | WECAN Interview

Myrsini Aristidou, an award-winning filmmaker from Cyprus, whose debut feature film, Hold Onto Me, is capturing hearts worldwide. Her film recently won the Audience Award in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival. Myrsini shares her beautiful journey from studying painting to discovering a fierce passion for the collaborative, magical world of filmmaking. What does it take to make a film that goes all the way to the Sundance Film Festival and walks away with the Audience Award? The Hold Onto Me Film is a tender, emotionally complex father-daughter story centred on an 11-year-old girl named Iris, exploring reconnection with her Father, forgiveness, and human connection. Myrsini is the ultimate role model for resilience. She shares her beautifully grounded approach to handling rejection, why success is about personal growth and integrity rather than shiny trophies, and why every aspiring creator needs to start small, trust their voice, and fiercely believe in their vision. "I absolutely loved listening to this deeply beautiful, human-centred visionary who dreams up stories she feels viscerally need to be told. I am so incredibly excited to watch her journey unfold, and I just know that big things will keep happening for her." — Stephanie Ferrario Learn more about the film and support Myrsini's work: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myrsiniaristidou/?hl=en #WECAN #MyrsiniAristidou #HoldOnto Me #SundanceFilmFestival #IndependentFilm #WomenInFilm #FilmmakingTips #DirectorInterview #FollowYourPassion #Mentorship ________________________________________________________________________ For any questions or inquiries regarding this video, please reach out to us @Wecan.Shecan 🔔 Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the Notification Bell for more interviews with role models! 👉 Connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wecan.shecan/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shecan-world/ Substack: https://shecan.substack.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0MAiuylxS5AhxCSQcm8cax?si=003fe73047cd465cYour Story Matters!
