For the 8th Annual PlanetOut Short Movie Awards 2007 generously sponsored by Scion, the quality of shorts was phenomenal as you can judge for yourselves. Join us in congratulating the following filmmakers: Directors Jen Heck ("Airplanes"), Nicola Marsh ("last exit"), Abbe Robinson ("Private Life"), Damien Rea ("Scarred") Marc Saltarelli (Where We Began), and Scriptwriter Tom O’Leary ("Where We Began") whose films collectively underline the fact that relationships are never easy, and sometimes you have to work on them or decide to walk away. All the winning filmmakers will be in attendance to introduce their films and accept their awards.
4th RUNNER UP ($500): "Where We Began", Dir. Marc Saltarelli/Scriptwriter Tom O’Leary, U.S. 2006, video, 14 min. U.S. PREMIERE. Bittersweet memories resurface when two ex-lovers, Timothy and Christian, come together in the place they first met.
3rd RUNNER UP ($750): "last exit", Dir. Nicola Marsh, U.S. 2006, video, 12 min. NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE. The past and the present gets muddied when Cody travels with her girlfriend to her conservative hometown to visit her best friend Heather and her husband.
2nd RUNNER UP ($1,000): "Scarred", Dir. Damien Rea, Ukraine/United Kingdom, 2006, 35mm, 10 min. NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE. In this beautifully told mysterious tale, Rafi’s physiognomy betrays his past, drives his destiny and conclusively influences the dynamics of his new relationship.
1st RUNNER UP ($1,500): "Airplanes", Dir. Jen Heck, U.S. 2006, video, 10 min. FLORIDA PREMIERE. Two teenage girls secretly hook up at a traveling carnival fair. Though their attraction takes flight, the tryst is slight, bound by time constraints on earth.
GRAND PRIZE WINNER ($10,000): "Private Life", Dir Abbe Robinson, United Kingdom, 2006, video, 16 min. NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE. A talent to watch, Abbe Robinson ("The Piper" – MGLFF2006) returns with an astonishing period piece set in 1952, Yorkshire, England. Ruth leads a humdrum life doling out wages in a textile mill. A secret train ride and rendezvous with a man reveals that nothing is quite what it seems and this lass is not as prim as she presents.
