It won the 2019 Iris Prize — the largest short film prize in the world — a £30,000 award that directly funded the production of Cardiff, which went on to receive a BAFTA Cymru nomination in 2023.
Black Hat has been distributed on HBO Europe, PBS KCET Fine Cut, amongst other streaming platforms, and on DVD through Film Movement.
