THE
ACTION/CUT 2004 GRAND PRIZE SHORT FILM AWARD
|
“THE
17th MAN”
Directed by
Yimeng Jin
Los Angeles, CA
|
"Of
the many film festivals I entered, the Action/Cut Film Competition
is by far the best and most exciting. It was a catalyst to launching
my film career. As part of my Grand Prize Awards, I met with
several industry professionals to discuss their film expertise
and who offered me priceless career guidance.
The over 30 prizes,
besides the cash award from Action/Cut and streaming the film
to promote my work - such as equipment rentals, production softwares,
distributor contacts, and magazine stories about my film - are
all ideal tools for a new filmmaker and moving their career
forward. Also, after winning the Grand Prize Award, I received
investor support and now I'm making my first feature. Thank
you Action/Cut...you made my dream real!"

THE
ACTION/CUT 2004 BEST
FICTION SHORT FILM AWARD
|
“5 MINUTES”
Directed by
Robert Christian Noll
Sherman Oaks, CA
|
"The
Action/Cut Short Film Competition is amazing! They put together
a prize package that is unmatched by any festival or
competition
I know of. They award filmmakers with what they really want
and what they really need: networking relationships with
top industry professionals, great production
softwares, and gift certificates for many helpful filmmaking products.
Action/Cut
sets up winning filmmakers with more than just "bragging
rights" which is so often the case with typical
fests.
A win at The Action/Cut Short Film Competition offers the filmmaker
the ability to go on and make more films by giving you career-launching
tools and connections!"

THE
ACTION/CUT 2005 BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT FILM AWARD
|
“ROSEVELT'S
AMERICA”
 
Directed by
Roger Weisberg & Tod Lending
Palisades, NY
|
"We
were grateful beyond measure to receive the Action/Cut Award
for Best Documentary.
This accolade will help us generate interest in this moving
story of a Liberian refugee's efforts to be reunited with his
family.
It also provides a degree of affirmation that makes us want to
continue making independent documentary films."
