Black Canaries Wins Jury Award for Best New England Short Film

It took me twelve years to get back to Vermont. This is where I grew up and where I plan to make my next film. So it made it all the more special to receive the Jury Award for Best New England Short Film at the 18th Annual Provincetown International Film Festival this past weekend. It was a warm welcome home.

My gratitude to Short Film Jury Members Kim Yutani (Senior Programmer, Sundance Film Festival), Lisanne Skyler (filmmaker, BRILLO BOX (3¢ OFF)) and Ian Samuels (filmmaker, MYRNA THE MONSTER) and a special thanks to Shorts Programmer Mike Plante, along with all of the PIFF staff, volunteers and patrons.

Upcoming Screenings

Rural Route Film Festival - Opening Night
Brooklyn Grange Rooftop Screening - July 29
Since 2002, the Rural Route Film Festival has been centered in New York City and was created to highlight works that deal with unique people and places outside of the bustle of the city. Taking in a Rural Route program is like choosing the road less travelled, and learning something new about our constantly amazing world. Official Website
