What a great festival and an amazing line-up of films!! Congratulations to everyone who had a film selected for the festival
Trying to choose the top film in a category is challenging at best. Films were rated on Originality, Creativity, Writing, Directing, Cinematography, Performances, Production Value, Pacing, Sound and Music. We received hundreds of films and each one was viewed by at least two judges and received scores in each area.
Here are the Juried Award Winners for 2018:
Juried Award for Animation goes to WE WILL SEE SOMEDAY. (Filmmaker Nari Hong)
Juried Award for Documentary Short goes to ROBESON RISES. Director Michael Pogoloff
The Juried Award for Documentary Feature goes to UP TO SNUFF. Filmmaker Mark Maxey
The Juried Award for Best Narrative Short goes to LABORATORY CONDITIONS Filmmaker Jocelyn Statmat.
The Juried Award for Best Narrative Feature is Awarded to OCCUPANTS Filmmaker Russell Emanuel
At every screening of every film audience members had the opportunity to tell us which films they thought were the best. Audience Award Winners will receive a framed laurel leaf and a cash award! Thanks to everyone who voted and shared your opinion about this year’s selections. We’ve tallied the votes and here are your choices for the best films of the festival.
