As you
know,
A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints screened recently at the Sundance Film Festival. The good news, as I learned from fellow blogger
Harlan, is that it won two awards! It won the Dramatic Directing Award for Dito Montiel's work and a Special Jury Prize for Best Ensemble Performance. Award winners are highlighed
here. The Sundance site makes you download .pdf files to find out about the awards, which is something I find to be kind of lame. Anyway, I think the fact that this film won some awards is pretty cool. I look forward to seeing it - hopefully it will get picked up for distribution and will come to Astoria.
Update: Fellow Astorian

Nice! Thanks, Annwyn!
