Winners of the 2009 NCFF Short Film Competition


BEST SHORT FILM:

If You See Something, Say Something, dir. Clyde Folley

Lindsay would be your average high school kid, were it not for his fascination of filming re-creations of presidential assassinations.  A harmless hobby, until his videos draw the attention of a bumbling Homeland Security agent and a paranoid principal, whose suspicions cause more trouble than Lindsay ever could.

BEST LOCAL FILM:

The Let Your Mustache Show, dir. Stephanie Russo

The majesty.  The power.  The mystique.  Russo’s mockumentary examines this form of facial hair from the experiences of proud mustache-wearers in the North Country, some lifetime growers, others just embarking on this hairy journey.

BEST STUDENT FILM:

This Is Iraq, dir. Chris Collins

Jeff Pelletier lives a dangerous life patrolling the streets of an Iraqi village on his first tour of duty.  Told mostly through videos sent to his girlfriend, Jeff’s term is juxtaposed against presidential speeches of peace and panicked montages of violence to compare the distant view of the war on the home front and the disturbing reality on the ground.
