BROWN PAPER BAG also received the "Jury's Special Mention" in Cannes at the Artisan Festival International World Peace Initiative (Special Consultative Status with ECOSOC to the United Nations). The organization was founded by Her Royal Majesty - Queen Angelique Monet Gureje-Thompson in 2012 and this year celebrated its 10 year anniversary.

Klaudia Kovács wanted to continue working in the midst of Covid restrictions while Hollywood came to a standstill. The filmmaker literally took matters into her own hands and shot her "pandemic project" with her iPhone. BROWN PAPER BAG was brought to life with a minimum budget, cast, and crew.

Kovács is not the only one in Hollywood who has shot a film on a cell phone. Steven Soderberg, Sean Baker, Malik Bendjelloul, Park Chan-kyong, and Park Cahn-wook have done so as well.

Kovács is known for her multi-award-winning, feature-length Cold War documentary, TORN FROM THE FLAG, which she shot with two of "the greatest cinematographers of all time" Academy Award winner, Vilmos Zsigmond, and ASC Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Laszlo Kovacs.
