In her inspiring speech, Megan Crawford shared:

"So my advice is to choose gratitude and choose service. Be of service to your leaders, to your filmmakers and actors, to your peers. Be in service to this business because we are the current stewards of the industry and it is our responsibility to pass it on to the next generation."

Silver Pixel honoree Cameron Curtis reflected on his journey and the driving force behind his work:

"I got into this business because I love movies. And early on, I learned something simple. It doesn't matter how good a film is if no one feels compelled to buy a ticket. It shapes how I think about this work and why, as we look to what's next, we're not letting up."
