Sundance 2009

So this year's Sundance Film Festival, held in the cold mountains of Park City, Utah, just came and went, and we have to start off by congratulating our friend, local filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton, whose thesis film for SDSU's Master's program in Television, Film, and New Media, "Short Term 12," was not only accepted for competition but won the Jury Prize for Best Short Film. You can read Destin's Sundance blog here. Check out the film's website, featuring the trailer for the film, here.

First, a list of the award winners:

I'll post some more about some of the individual films of interest in a bit...
