The 2008 box[ur]shorts™ Film Festival, a yearlong short film exhibition taking place internationally at restaurants, bars, coffee houses and laundromats, announced today it will hold its third annual awards night at the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles on Saturday, January 10, 2009 at 7:30pm. Festival judges James Bond director Martin Campbell and Cloverfield producing partner Shannon Riggs are among the industry VIPs invited to attend.

Following a countdown screening, the top three winners in this year’s contest will be commemorated at the annual awards night, in addition to the audience choice award and the best student film award. Winners will be awarded over $7,000 worth of prizes sponsored by Showbiz Software, Avid, Fuji Film and the Write Brothers, to name a few.

“We’re excited to celebrate the third successful year of the box[ur]shorts Film Festival at our awards night. With some of Hollywood’s top talent in attendance, it will serve as an inspiration to the up and coming filmmakers we’ll be recognizing with awards. In 2009, we’ll continue our successful competition and will give more short films the opportunity to reach their audience. I encourage filmmakers internationally to gear up and enter their shorts early for next year’s festival,” said Giacun Caduff, festival director.
