EL TAXISTA
BEST SHORT FILM
Honolulu Int'l Film Festvial 2009
Elated does not even begin to describe the warm & fuzzies I feel, having taken the BEST SHORT FILM award at this year's Honolulu Int'l Film Festival. Bryan Ross and I took on the arduous task of going to the festival. We survived. The HIFF is a small festival, comparatively--only 37 films were screened from around the globe.

To be selected was an honor. To win was a real surprise, considering we were up against some great films with budgets of 50K plus, while ours was the equivalent of the loose change that lines Tom Hanks' pants pocket on any given day.
This brings our totals to 4 Wins, 4 Nominations & 11 Official Selections, with many more expected for this year!
