Phantom George
*JUROR CHOICE AWARD
Poor George was born with a gift; the ability to ìastral projectî
himself into anyone or anything that moves. Oh, the possibilities!
We follow him from his early exploring years through his unusual
experimental college years. No one (and nothing) is safe until
this romantic loser meets the girl of his dreams and tries to make
everything normal again. Yeah, like thatíll happen.

Mindís Eye
*JUROR CHOICE AWARD
**LeBLANC AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD
In my mind I am free to travel where and how I desire. The laws
of physics do not apply to my mindís eye. I can create new worlds
and new laws of motion within my mind and I can transcend the facade
of ëreality.í My inner world is more real than the external world.
BRADLEY RUST GRAY -
Flutter
The film Flutter was inspired from an 1905 etching by Paul Klee entitled,
"The Hero with the Wing." Klee's quote about the drawing: "The man
born with only one wing, in contrast with divine creatures, makes
incessant efforts to fly. In doing so, he breaks his arms and legs,
but persists under the banner of his idea."
WILL HARTMAN - Bus
Stop
After failing a savage test of courage in front of all the kids at
his school bus stop, a little boy gets a second chance to prove his
worth when the bus gets hijacked by criminals.

- Perfect Eggs

help from man's best friend.
SUSAN HORNBEAK-ORTIZ
- Veiled Promises
Veiled Promises is based on the life and death of the French
Carmelite nun, Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897). Although she
died an early and painful death at the age of 24 from
tuberculosis, her maturity transcended this century to culminate
in her being named a Doctor of the Church in 1997 and referred to
as one of the greatest saints of modern times. Therese abandoned
herself completely to love and in the process left a legacy of
beauty and a path of rose petals for us to follow.
"All I have written about my thirst for
souls is true;
I do not regret surrendering myself to Love."
- Saint Therese of Lisieux -
