Congratulations to the following filmmakers
Kristina Monllos, 'Lillians Oven'
About the Project:
Lillian, terminally ill and short on time, insists her husband Frank practice cooking his favorite meals without her help. She wants to know he’ll care for himself once she’s gone. But when she passes, Frank’s overwhelmed by grief. If he can’t cook with Lillian, he won’t cook at all.
SLFW awarded $1000 toward the cost of editing and coloring, sound design and mixing.
Mia Bible, 'Honorable'
About the project:
HONORABLE reimagines an actual event that Muhammad Ali describes in his 2004 autobiography as, “one of the mistakes that I regret most in my life.” What if Malcolm’s and Ali’s last encounter didn’t occur at the Ambassador as history recounts, but instead at the private residence of Maya Angelou where these sparring titans agree to a conversation to confront the breach in their brotherhood?
SLFW awarded $1192 toward marketing, electronic press kits, cutting additional trailers.
Megan Gooden 'Descent'
About the project:
Vanessa, a delusional Catholic young-woman, becomes fixated on her past intimacies, often in the form of out-of-body experiences triggered by intense feelings of grief and guilt. Through vivid flashbacks, she relives the introduction to and the fallout between her best friend and former-lover.
Descent is Vanessa’s twisted perception of the relationships she formed in college, remembering her friends and romantic partner as she wants to see them and not as they truly were.
SLFW awarded $875 toward color correction, sound editing and mixing and festival
submissions.
Dan Parris, 'A Sorry Stop'
About the project:
A Sorry Stop is a short documentary that sheds light on the overlooked importance of bus stops and public transit in the context of autodominated St. Louis, Missouri. The lm follows Wash U professor and urban planner Ian Trivers as he looks at the issue and hears the stories of those who use the bus and bus stops and learns what they want us to know about bus transit in St. Louis.
SLFW awarded $1000 toward the creation of a animated sequence showing the disparities of bus stop and their impact on riders.
