This year we are handing out more awards than we have in the past, our judges who do the hard work didn't have a consensus on their suggestions for Best Director, Best Actor and other categories, so we have a lot of ties in our main festival, and our Voices Heard program.
Again, thank you filmmakers, and thank you judges. Lynda Reiss, Jon Adler, Carey Borth, Krystal Hardy, Paulina Lule, Ben Soto and Immanuel Baldwin, plus I have to thank Bill Quirmbach, Glen Popple, Rachel Gomez, Jon Kline, Char Burtt, Anieya Walker, LaRheatra Cole, Ricardo Tenorio, Shun Powell, Clarence "Sammy" Aumend, Heidi Dalton and
Julia Teeguarden for making this festival happen.
