Katie Garibaldi, San Francisco based singer/songwriter, has won a prestigious Award of Merit from the IndieFEST Film Awards. The award was given for Garibaldis heartwarming music video Delightful, which was directed by Anna Haas and filmed in Nashville, TN. Delightful features an exceptional take on the idea of happiness being a choice and beautiful scenes of independent locations in Nashville, visuals that complement Garibaldis independent and artistic aura.

 

*im kind of floored by the loving response to the Delightful music video and really grateful to the IndieFest for this award, says Garibaldi. She continues, All my songs are close to my heart, but this one in particular is important to me because the message in the song is to love one another and also love yourself, no matter whats transpiring in circumstances outside of you. This is the legacy I want to lead in the world, and [director] Anna [Haas] was able to create a lovely concept that encompasses this message so a lot of people can easily relate to it. The director of photography, Austin Boylen, and the rest of the crew, did a wonderful job on the cinematography and made each detail special. im so glad this video has brought people a few minutes of happiness and hopefully helps them reflect on the way they see themselves and the world, which I think are delightful beings.
