Film judge Sam Smiley complained about the problem of choosing one film out of many to win the top documentary prize of the White Sands International Film Festival.

"All movies that have been created are something kind of special," Smiley said at Friday night's award ceremony. "All are wonderful experiences."

Still, Smiley continued, there are some which jumped out at the judges. Seventeen documentaries have been shown during the festival and all are worthy of the viewer's time, he said.

There were two documentary categories one for "shorts," films less than 40 minutes long, and the other for feature-length pieces.
The six minute "Caught in Paint" took the short documentary award for, as Smiley put it, catching the "co-creativity" between an artist and a dance company to depict "wonder of concept."

The feature length "Amazon Trek, In Search of Vanishing Secrets," out of France, is taking home the other documentary award. The film recreates the journey of the father of a young explorer who disappeared into the rain forest in 1949.

WSIFF Director Donn Finn then took the stage to announce the winners of the narrative film category.

"We had well over 350 entries from around the world," Finn said.

In the short narrative category, "The Savior," by director Klaus Hjuler of Denmark, took the top award. Hjuler was on hand to accept his award.

The film is a domestic violence study with a twist.

"This is the first and only festival I submitted a film to," Hjuler said. "I will have to do more of that."
Hjuler works in Europe as a stuntman and took part in last Sunday's swashbuckling workshop to help guide students in their swordfighting techniques.

"This (award) might make a difference in my career," Hjuler said. "People might listen to me. The future can look bright now."

Winning the feature-length narrative award was "Solo Dios Sabe." In a letter, filmmaker Mark Castillo expressed delight and said he was honored by the win.

"Somehow this film was made because nothing is impossible," Castillo wrote, referring to the challenges of making an independent film with little funding in several languages and shot in several countries.
Actor and high school workshop instructor Jamison Jones gave out the high school film award. The award went to an 11th grader from Greeley, Colo., whose two films, "The Park" and "Damfino," were produced so well they far exceeded Jones' expectations, he said.
Winner Connor Anderson stood and looked at the audience and said, "This is freakin' awesome."
Then, in front of a full house, he looked to the back of the audience and said, "Mandy, will you go to prom with me."
Mandy said "yes," and the ceremony was over.

Vi satser på du skal instruerer den næste Indy Klaus, og regner naturligvis med at der bliver et par roller til os i filmen :-)

Bliver traileren klar snart ????

Mange tillykke herfra også

Tak for tilliden! Jeg skal nok smide alle gode ideer ind i Indy 5.

Mht. traileren; så er optagelserne der skal laves effekter på, sendt til FX-manden, vores egen "Hudson"... Det drejer sig om palmer og pyramide i ørkenen, samt de split-screen-optagelser vi lavede på Odsherred sidste efterår - "De 40 Indy'er"...

Ellers laver vi lidt ekstra-optagelser til traileren søndag d. 4. maj...

Eller "Jagten på det forsvundet tøj" jeg svæger at, det er som at finde en nål i en høstak at finde tøj til premieren (læs ømme fødder efter at have rent diverse forretninger ned i håb om at finde noget brugbart hvis der er nogen der ligger inde med noget jeg kan låne...??) kan godt forstå hvis det har været på den måde at skulle finde gearet sammen til en helhed som Indy eller andre karakter...
