OTE030-OFF09 Wrap Up

Marc and Jeremy discuss the fourth annual Omaha Film Festival.

As for our award winners and all of the filmmakers that submitted and attended, I want to thank each of you as well. Picking winners is always the most difficult thing to do at the festival, and gladly some of that decision is shared with our audiences in the form of the audience choice prizes. This years’ audience choice awards went to:

GRANNY GRIMM’S SLEEPING BEAUTY directed by Nicky Phelan – short film
A FRIEND INDEED–THE BILL SACKTER STORY directed by Lane Wyrick – documentary
TOUCHING HOME directed by Logan and Noah Miller – Feature Film

A special award was given this year to the short film for best Cinematography which was a $500 certificate for Eastman/Kodak film which went to the short film:
VALLEY OF THE MOON directed by John Monteleone

Omaha Film Festival jury prizes were also given in six different categories to the following films:
AGENT 5: A NIGHT IN THE LAST LIFE OF directed by Matthew Desotell - OFF the EDGE
VARMINTS directed by Marc Craste – Animated Short
COONS directed by Chris Cloyd – Nebraska Short
SUGAR directed by Alex Beh – Short Film
PHANTOM PUNCH directed by Robert Townsend – Feature Film
THE PROVIDENCE EFFECT directed by Rollin Binzer – Documentary

Due to some very generous donations and sponsors, we gave out over $14.000 worth of prizes during our awards ceremony so another huge thank you to all of our sponsors. And yes, it is frustrating having to give all of those prizes away!
