2008 Arizona Underground Film Festival: Award Winners
The first ever Arizona Underground Film Festival, which was just held this past weekend on Oct. 17-19, gave out a slew of awards to several feature films and shorts.
Topping the list, of course, is Joshua von Brown’s Altamont Now. This film deserves every award it can get its bloody punk rock hands on, I tell you. Including Arizona, the film also played at two other festivals this past week and will be screening in NYC next week. I’ll have the full details about that soon.
Also winning awards are two other Bad Lit favorites. First is my new short film favorite Excision by Richard Bates Jr., which I just raved about in this compilation of Spooky Movie Film Festival reviews; and the other is Marc Rokoff’s deranged documentary Unspeakable, which has had a happy resurgence on the underground film circuit the past couple of months.
So, special congrats to Josh, Richard and Marc, but really congratulations to all the winners:
