The Girl
Judge's Comments (Margarita)

Great story overall. Its compelling and gives the viewer the opportunity to get to know the subject and understand the unique nature of her relationship with her father. Strong photographs complement the audio perfectly. Usability was lacking the option to advance forward and backwards and didn't display the length of time of video. Our strongest concern was the editing of the first few images, we would have preferred to have various images of her boxing; presenting both details shots as well as pull-back of young girl in action.
