First off, congratulations to 30+ filmmakers who made some really amazing films this year! Everyone is a winner in our book and we couldn’t be more proud of the filmmakers for the excellent work they did. Mere points separated many of the films so if you do not see your film here, remember judging is extremely subjective and the scores were very close.
