FESTIVAL NEWS!

May 2007: BEGLEITER was projected onto a giant outdoor screen beside the bay at the King's Shops in the beautiful Waikoloa Beach Resort on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Despite its scenes of full-frontal nudity, BEGLEITER was awarded the Golden Honu for BEST FAMILY SHORT on May 20 at the Big Island Film Festival. The good news continued the next day when BEGLEITER won a cash prize of $500 as first runner up in an online competition where it was voted on by over 3,500 viewers at PetStyle.com. December 2, 2006: BEGLEITER screened to capacity crowds in Anchorage, Alaska. The Saturday night showing of the "Funny Bone" program proved so popular it had to be added to a second screen that night, in addition to its scheduled encore performance the following Thursday night (according to the Anchorage Daily News). December 9, 2006: BEGLEITER won the Golden Oosik Award for BEST SHORT at the 6th annual Anchorage International Film Festival! November 11, 2007: At its New York premiere, BEGLEITER was NOMINATED for the Queens Spirit Award for Best Domestic Short. It was one of only three films nominated out of 21 eligible shorts shown in competition. September 16, 2007: BEGLEITER was not only an official selection at the inaugural Southern Winds Film Festival in beautiful downtown Shawnee, Oklahoma; it was also among six prestigious films NOMINATED for Best Short Narrative! Although the film did not win this award, I am proud to announce the prize instead went to my friend Lou Pappas for his film "The Halls Of Jacob." Aleisha and I met this award-winning filmmaker when our films played at the Delray Beach Film Festival in Florida in March. Congratulations to Lou!

THE CRITICS LOVE BEGLEITER!

We got our first official review in September 2006 and it's a 4-star rave! J.C. Maçek III of worldsgreatestcritic.com says, "I love this movie. Begleiter won my heart and I don't care who knows!" It is extremely gratifying to hear that someone truly "gets it." All our hard work paid off. Congratulations to my cast and crew for this recognition. See more of the review here.
