WINNER: Gold Remi Award - WorldFest Houston
Our short film, Opening Up, started its festival run this past month at the WorldFest Houston International Film Festival. The film also took home the Gold Remi award in the Shorts - Comedy - Original category.
In its 57th year, WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival is the oldest Independent Film Festival in the whole wide world featuring emerging filmmakers. WorldFest gave first awards to giants of the film industry, including Spielberg, Lucas, Ang Lee, the Coen Brothers, Ridley Scott, John Lee Hancock, Brian de Palma, Randal Kleiser, Oliver Stone, David Lynch, and literally hundreds more.
Opening Up centers on the night a new member of an evening support group puts everyone on edge by arriving in a protective radiation suit.
The film was written and directed by Nice Egg co-founder Paris Brown, produced by co-founder Heather McKinney, and stars a cast of incredibly talented actors from the Dallas area. Full cast is available here.
Congratulations to the cast and crew on the honor!
