THE JENNI BEREBITSKY LEGACY AWARD

The Jenni Berebitsky Legacy Award honors longtime Heartland Film friend, Jenni Berebitsky, who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrigʼs disease in March 2009 and passed away in August 2019.

The documentary short film “Grateful: The Jenni Berebitsky Story,” which centers around her life, won, among other tributes, the Audience Choice Award at the inaugural Indy Shorts International Film Festival.

Regarding the award, Jenni remarked, “It is no easy task to create a piece of art that is both meaningful and entertaining. I am honored to play a role, alongside Heartland Film, in this award that encourages filmmakers to follow a dream and inspire audiences around the world.”
