18 years ago, Marry Me won Tropfest.

On 17 February 2008, Michelle Lehman’s short film took home First Prize at what was then the world’s largest short film festival.

Shot over two weekends on a Panasonic Varicam in 720p, made with handmade costumes, childhood memories, and a dedicated team just beginning their creative journey — the film went on to reach millions online and continues to be used in classrooms as an example of short film storytelling.

With Tropfest returning this Sunday for the first time in years, we’ve shared a reflection on the making of Marry Me and what that moment shaped for Conti Bros Films.
