We’re so proud of our cast and crew for snagging SIX nominations at #bnmwebfest this week!
Simplified poster for Bloom&Blight: Requiem, with 13 white film festival laurels around the bottom, and 6 up top.

Dark background, with art of Dark Lark. Lark stands facing away from the camera, a glowing white spear in hand. The spear has purple and pink ribbons tied to it, and a yellow ribbon is tied in Larks hair. She looks resolute and defiant, her hair and costume billowing in a breeze. Below her, reflected in water, is another Dark Lark. This time, she is in her hands and knees, looking defeated, her hair and costume are limp, and her skirts are tattered. Her spear is a full metallic colour, chipped at the end and stained in blood. The ribbons are missing.

Above both Dark Larks, a pair of red, glitching  mechanical eyes loom in the darkness. The dark background fades to stars at the top.

Six sets of laurels show web festival nominations from Baltimore Next Media Web Fest at the top. Nominations include Best Storyteller, Best Cast (Audio AP), Best Performance (Candace), Best Art, Best Actual Paly (Audio), and Best Sound Design. Down the sides are 13 others from various festivals.
