Nearly 200 filmmakers, students and movie enthusiasts of all ages gathered for the second box[ur]shorts™ Film Festival awards night in Los Angeles to celebrate the 2nd year competition of the innovative movie jukebox short film festival. While the first event was held in 2006 at nearby Karma Coffeehouse, the festival announced the move to the historic New Beverly Cinema at La Brea and Beverly Blvd earlier in the year and with it opened up the screening to a bigger audience.
Eleven short films made it from inside the jukeboxes up on the big screen. The jury this year included actress Sophia Myles (Underworld, Tristian and Isolde, CBS Moonlight), writer/director Scott Prendergast, film critic Izumi Hasegawa among others (full jury). The winners are as followed:
The finalist movies were presented in a count-down screening after guests had been served free drinks and Swiss chocolate, which has become a well received tradition at box[ur]shorts™ Film Festival. "I mostly come here for the awesome chocolate," a festival goer confessed jokingly and festival producer Ryan Reichenfeld adds that "Giacun is Swiss and therefore has direct access to prime chocolate from his homeland. We yet have to find an official chocolate sponsor but I'm sure that'll happen in the near future."
The event was made possible through generous sponsorships by Showbiz Software, Write Brothers, FUJIFILM, Cinetyp, AVID, Location Sound Corp. MG Mode, Hollywood Trophies, Cafe Stübli, Primex Farms, Palace Party Rental, The Little Penguin, Mole Richardson, Howard Suber, Myrl Schreibman and A Bale Pictures, Inc.
