The Kook

We took home top honors in the Narrative Short Competition this weekend!  Thanks so much to MFF!

See the full list of winners here.

The festival runs from March 6-18 at The Landmark Sunshine Theater and has a panel of pretty high-profile judges including one of our all-time favorites, Susan Sarandon.  It’s going to great to share the film with all our New York friends and family!  Visit LESFF for more info.

The festival runs from April 13-22, directly following The Charleston FF in the upper-deck state, North Carolina.  Riverrun just got two big grants from The Academy and The NEA, so this year’s event should be really special. We’re excited to be a part of it. Visit Riverrun for more info on this top flight festival.

The festival runs from April 11-25 in one of the most beautiful cities in America. We’ve heard they throw a good party!  Visit CIFF for more info.
