2015 Ottawa Independent Video Awards Best Director Under 25 Award
In a night filled with great socializing, networking, some awesome short listed filmmakers and talented folks, I was extremely happy to attend the inaugural Ottawa Independent Video Awards.
I attended not only because I was nominated in two categories (Best Music Video and Best Director Under 25) for my music video “We All Go the Same“, but also to support Ottawa’s indie filmmaking group, which I haven’t networked with in the past. I’m thrilled Ottawa is having more events like this to support indie filmmakers.
To my complete surprise I was awarded “Best Director Under 25”! Other than the fact I almost pulled a Jennifer Lawrence and wiped out on the way to get my award, I was extremely happy to accept the very “sharp” award (see photo above).
I do want to give a huge thank you to my cast and crew who worked their butts off to make this film possible. In particular Julia Frangione, my assistant makeup artist (a.k.a. partner in crime) who worked tirelessly with me to get the overall looks right at 5am call times. I share this award with you Julia.
The night was a wonderful hit, and I look forward to seeing more of what Ottawa’s indie filmmakers have to offer.
