First of all, I need to get something off of my chest. I don’t really like awards shows. I rarely even watch the Oscars. So, it is a bit ironic that I find myself as the producer of our awards ceremony every year. People love them though and I want to make sure that we give the people what they want. Awards can be great validation for filmmakers as well, so we take the responsibility of granting our main awards pretty seriously. Plus, the after parties are usually really fun. This year, we really decided to have some fun with it. Sealth played a couple great sets while their specially created videos played behind them. Host Emmett Montgomery was great as usual with group hugs and air high-fives for all of the filmmakers who attended. Also all of the filmmakers who won were actually there to get their Great Glass Dildo. Voltaire wins an additional award for greatest acceptance speech. Video of the event will be posted soon.
