Susan Gorrell, Senior Manager of the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival, last night announced that Casey B.

Casey B. Dolan commented: I am always totally thrilled when South African projects are recognized internationally. The nomination is a wonderful celebration of a team effort to create a really special South African film. I am so grateful to both Zaheer and Louw for the opportunity to have played such a fabulous role and giving me the freedom to bring her (Sheryl) to life. I am a very happy actress right now!

Director/Producer Zaheer Goodman-Bhyat added: Casey and I were child actors together, and so its a really special moment for me that she is finally getting the recognition she deserves for her talent. Her performance in Konfetti is breath-taking, and it is going to leave her fans very happy and introduce a whole new set of fans. I am really proud of her and of what we achieved together. Well done Casey! Its another strong reminder that we have world class talent in South Africa and can hold our heads high with the best in the world.
