Prowess also completed the production of the short film, Bloom, directed by Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri, and sponsored the first ever, Women’s Illuminated Film Festival, where Bloom, screened March 2018, in New York.

Prowess most recently wrapped production of the short film, Blessed Be, which screened in competition, at The Chelsea Film Festival’s 10th Anniversary last October 2022 in New York. The film went on to win Honourable Mention at The Golden Lemur Film Festival, and screened in LA over the summer at the Micheaux Film Festival 2023. Blessed Be surrounds the underground world of human trafficking in India and is Prowess’ second literary option from Canadian author, Julie Mann.

Prowess’ next focus is to continue developing the feature film, Backshadow, which was the first literary option that Therés passionately pursued. Backshadow follows the stories of Aneeta, Kameko and Gregory as they heal their past cultural trauma through creative writing.
