LAST YEAR'S WINNERS  - - 

Several of last year's winners are online (many we're unable to imbed so you'll have to click on the links yourself) - - making a flick is no easy feat let alone in 48 hours.........

Perdition - Winner Best of Buffalo
Directed by Matt Lorentz
With: Christopher Marriott, Sara Manzella, Mariah Scritchfield, Kyle Scritchfield, Bobby Gott
A powerful, effective (and only 5-minute long) drama following a young war vet - it achieves alot with great efficiency...

Hot Air - Winner Best Use of Character, Best Use of Prop, Best Use of Line, Best Writing
Directed by John Scherer
With Will Mutka, Tony Mangano, Emily Johnson Nikolas Sterivovski

The film is well shot - but I'm not sure what the buzz was about for this one, original at times the jokes don't quite resonate with me (although it features a few Buffalo neighborhoods and landmarks which is always nice to see on screen).

Perfect Pitch - Winner "RedBull Gives You Wings"Award, Best Editing, Best Acting, Best Directing
Directed by Tracey B. Wilson
With Wilson, Jacob Albarella, Richard Satterwhite

It takes some balls to make a musical in 48-Hours - - this one pulls it off! A bit silly but it's enjoyable (and not to be confused with the Anna Kendrick film Pitch Perfect)


---
As of Now - winner Best Cinematography
Directed by Aaron Doolittle
With Marlee Francis, Ryan Taber, Juston R. Graber.

Technically the slickest of bunch - with the award-winning cinematography as the star of the flick. It's held back by a few uneven performances and a script that doesn't quite add up. Oh if only there was more time......but that's the point......
