We've been notified that Koharubiyori also won the Audience Choice Award (the favorite of all Graduate Films) at the NYU First Run Film Festival!
This is exciting news - not only do the "critics" like the film, but the people do too!
The film will screen at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles on June 5th.
Koharubiyori, my classmate Toshi Saito's NYU Grad Thesis short film - which I produced and we shot in Japan last February - is one of eight nominees for the prestigious NYU Wasserman Award. The three winning films are screened in LA and the filmmakers take industry meetings.
The film also received a number of craft commendations - Original Score, Cinematography, and a Producing craft award that Toshi and I shared!
