Our short film got into the Western Grand Finale for Campus MovieFest. Red carpet, delectable cuisine, and a group of great friends made it one hell of a night.
CMF's an epic event. More than 20,000 students participated and hundreds of short films submitted to CMF this year. 75 were picked by the judges for screening and down to 16 for the evening ceremony.
The place was packed.
More than 1000 attendees.
...but we still got our red carpet moments.
The ladies.
Future star.
Saw Kenny for the first time since months ago when we first shot the film.
Congrats on nomination of Best Actor, man.
Celebs came out, too.
Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs.
The 2 and a half hours in the theatre was intense, everyone was anticipating to see their own films on the screen. No one had a clue which films were entering the finale. 16 were picked and they play 4 at a time, splitting the event into 4 segments.
The films were the best of the best. As the short films were played, it was hard to grasp the fact that all the films were made within a week.
Nora Zehetner from Grey's Anatomy presented Best Drama, Best Comedy, and Best Picture.
..and guess what?
Hell yes. Congrats, crew!
Best comedy went to.. Top of Her Class.
Best Picture went to..The Butterfly King
See ya Next time, Abe, the MC.
