| Both JM Northern Media's Book Winners and DIY Film Fest Winners |
Congratulations to all the 2014 DIY Film Fest honorees! Both Honorable Mentions and the category winners, and all DIY film enthusiasts everywhere, we salute you!
We did a little bit of saluting on Saturday night at the annual Gala festival, which honored both DIY Filmmakers and JM Northern Media's Book Fair contestants (www.diyconvention.com)
We had a handful of filmmakers on hand, and the ones who could not make it sent in clips of themselves, or a thanks in lieu of there being there in person. Understandable, as we have finalists from Israel, Iran, Ukraine, Uganda and Norway to name a few.
But those who could make it had a great time. Here's a list of the WINNING ENTRIES and some photographs to go along. All Honorable Mentions and Winners will get a certificate, and the Winning films will get editing software from our sponsor Pinnacle Editing systems, now a division of Corel Industries.
See the post below for links to the films and filmmakers.
Thanks again and keep the DIY flag flying high!
