The Chlotrudis Society’s 5th annual Short Film Festival big winner was local film-maker Justin Fielding’s short film DWAINE’S BIG GAME. Scoring a strike, the film was awarded both the Award for Best Film and the Audience Award, based on votes cast by audiences in attendance both nights of the festival.
DWAINE’S BIG GAME is a gregarious documentary about one man’s quest for perfection. Director Fielding followed the journey of Dwaine Daye, a Boston firefighter who tries to meet a colleague’s challenge to bowl a perfect game. Director Justin Fielding is also a co-founder of Castparty Productions, an independent video production team in Boston.
The 2004 CSIF Short Film Festival was held Nov 1 & 3 at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline and at Cambridge’s Brattle Theatre. Second place finishers were HIGHWAY AMAZON by Ronnie Cramer of Denver for the Award for Best Film, and ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A KING by Massimiliano Mauceri of Italy for the Audience Award.
See the winning film and film-maker, and join CSIF members as we formally present the Short Film Festival Awards during the 11th annual Chlotrudis Awards ceremony on Sunday, March 20th at the Brattle Theatre.
Congratulations to all the filmmakers who took part in the Festival. Every film was someone’s favorite!
