Filmmaker Charlotte Verminck has won the award for Best Sound with her short film Mind of Thoughts at the Festival of Cinema NYC. Earlier this year, the film was also awarded Best International Film in Los Angeles.

The New York–based festival is dedicated to independent filmmaking, showcasing emerging voices and innovative storytelling within an international context.

The award highlights the film’s sonic dimension - an often understated yet essential layer of cinematic storytelling - bringing attention to the craftsmanship and collaboration behind the work.

“Sound is often undervalued, while it plays such a crucial role in shaping the strength of a film. I’m grateful that this aspect of the work - and the people behind it - are being brought into the spotlight,” says Verminck.

Created independently, Mind of Thoughts continues to resonate with audiences across borders, exploring perception, inner dialogue, and the emotional complexity of the human experience.

With recognitions in both Los Angeles and New York, the film’s international trajectory continues to unfold.
