We couldn’t be happier!!! I often joke that “Independent film” should be called “Community film” due to all who generously donate their time, hearts and minds to bring independent films to the people. STIFF – (Seattle’s True Independent Film Festival celebrates off-beat independent film from around the world.)… and is one of the most fun, down to earth and biggest supporters of independent film I’ve seen. The organizers; Brian, Steve and Clint programmed some stellar films and bought us some stellar shots of whiskey;) STIFF (Thank you for hosting killer parties, showcasing a variety of independent films, and hosting Roll Out, Cowboy.)
I share this award with Warner Boutin (Producer – my incredible partner in film)…Elizabeth Ross (Editor – who endured 9 months in the sweltering LA dining room edit suite with me. She is a true story wizard!)… Chris Sand (aka Sandman the Rappin’ Cowboy - who agreed to share 3+ years of his life, whose openness and career perseverance constantly inspires me as a filmmaker)… Shawn Parke & Jonah Carpenter (aka Moustaches - who were literally an instrumental necessity to the film and whose comedic and soulful spirits remind audiences to, “Dance as they feel.”)… Martine Workman & Josh Tokle (Title Design & Web Design - you guys are truly a Workle dream team!)… Seattle (Audience – you represented in numbers and in enthusiasm! THANK YOU.)
Here are some STIFFY photos:)
