STU debuted this past April at the 2024 Cleveland International Film Festival in the historic Mimi Theater, where it won the Global Health Award, and was part of the Solar Eclipse day events that CIFF partnered with the Great Lakes Science Center and the John Glenn NASA Center to make happen. It has been and continues to go to multiple film festivals, winning awards and audiences’ hearts across the country and beyond.
