Award winning films

Has anyone made any films that won awards in any festivals and if so did anything come from the exposure?

Rachael Saltzman

Yes, and no, not really. Unless it's a major award (a friend of mine won at Sundance) it's a nice little feather, but don't expect anything to come of it.

Matt Milne

yes, more free films. but i'll take any and every opportunity the universe sees fit to grant.

Mark Cabaroy

@Mike not use what you mean by "more free films" @ Rachel yes that's been my experience as well I've half dozen awards but at local festivals not at the big boy festivals like Sundance, Chicago or Tribecca or of course Rhode Island which has an Oscar short prize for the winner.

Rik Carter

Yes. A short that won several awards lead to money for a feature version. A feature that won several awards lead to getting hired to make another feature. Have any of the half a dozen awards lead to anything for you?

Mark Cabaroy

@Rik Carter No, just a lot of compliments some cash prize and offers to collaborate from other filmmakers. You can check the short out in my reel section it's called Blindsided, where did you're short win at?

Ed Vassallo

I produced a film that got into SXSW 2012 and won the Audience Buzz Award. That got us extra screenings and then a great review in Indiewire and from there distribution.
