Film Festival Success

Comic Com is an amazing event and actually screening in a film festival I was able to attend rather than just doing the submission paperwork for was a lot of fun. More so, as we came away with an actual producers award.

While last night many film buffs were watching the Golden Globes the real film drama was being played out in at

Comic Com, Albuquerque, USA.

I'm pleased for the directors and all the film's creative team to announce The Astronomer's Sun walked away with the vote for CINEMATOGRAPHY and the AUDIENCE vote as well as the star prize, BEST PRODUCED FILM. Other than the animation award and director's award we'd walked away with the 3 top prizes watched by over 1,000 people.

A strategy of targeting film festivals has produced 12 awards in just a year giving all involved in the film's production a fantastic resume of success. Submitting to film festivals is expensive and not all festivals give out actual physical awards but, Comic Com's first film festival did for Best Produced Film creating the blue action hero (see photo) in true comic book style.
