"Miranda" Wins the RWFF Audience Award

We are proud to officially announce that Kent Sutton's debut short film Miranda won the Audience Favorite Award this weekend at the Red Wasp Film Festival in Bryan, Texas. Sutton, who was in attendance, was there to accept the award. Prior to this, Kent was still blown away by the feedback the film was receiving from audience members and those associated with the festival. One of the festival staff who had not seen the film yet, after finally seeing it revealed to Kent that had she seen it when she was younger, it might have helped prevent her from needing a restraining order during a rough time period in her own personal experience.

The festival, which was attended by over 200 people, screened eighteen films that were entered in a competition for festival prizes. The Brazos Valley Raq Ensemble opened the festival on Friday with two dances. After the awards were presented on Saturday evening, ACLU—Brazos Valley Chapter sponsored a community screening of New Muslim Cool (Specific Pictures, 2009), an award-winning documentary by Jennifer Maytorena Taylor about Muslim rap artist Hamza Pérez.

With less than 14 Hours to go in the film's Indiegogo campaign, funds are being currently raised the make the film into a feature with the slogan RUN, DON'T HIDE.
