I am the founder and Executive Director of the annual ReelWorld Film Festival presented in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I was first exposed to Akanbi's work, when one of her animation shorts was programmed in our 2008 festival. In 2009 we then programmed her live-interactive animation Mama Akanbi and Breathe Show, which was also a debut performance, as part of our ReelYouth program. The audience was comprised of kids 8-13 and they thoroughly enjoyed the interactive program that Avionne provided. Tonya Lee Williams --- CEO and founder of ReelWorld Film Festival
