Every year hard choices are made. The first hard choice is the time and location of the event. The next is what films to show...and we work our way through countless films to find the best ones to show. That in and of itself is a hard task, out of so many great films, choosing that selection down to a handful of movies to fill and sometimes over fill our schedule.

None of that is in comparison to choosing the award nominees...

We have made our nominee choices, and here they are...

But first, let me thank all the filmmakers who submitted as you always make this decision so hard and that is a good thing. Thank you, for all of you make excellent films and we enjoy watching them.
