As one of the directors and founders of the Chicago Independent Film Critics Circle, I couldn't be more proud of what our group supports and champions.  The CIFCC was founded on the pillar of diversity.  It is a message that resonates in all that we do, both as a group and as critics.  In our eyes and through our passion as film lovers and creative individuals, diversity means more than just demographics.  Take a watch and a listen to this special trailer and message from the CIFCC, featuring yours truly, that ran before the events of our first CIFCC Showcase last weekend.
