Adventure Shorts Winners

First place Audience Award Winner Filmmaker Dana Johnson and “Adventure Unknown”

” I competed in this contest because it was a perfect category for my film and the film already had a huge following so I though it would do well. Also, I was excited for the opportunity to screen in LA. Winning the prize is validating to all the hard work we did to create it and promote it.  I will use the prize towards my next film!”

Second place Audience Award winner Filmmaker Mike Deeter and “Borneo’s Heart of Darkness”

“I love film and visual storytelling, especially in the genre of adventure.  I became really passionate about protecting the environment while we were in Asia.  This contest seemed to be the perfect platform to deliver a much needed message.

This is my first attempt at filmmaking, so that being said I am amazed that our little film was accepted, much less took away a prize.  Being that my grandfather narrated the film and that the subject of deforestation in Borneo and Sumatra is real and only a matter of time before a tipping point is reached in the area make it even more important to me.  Winning this prize could not have been possible had it not been for all the people who watched and voted, so a huge thank you needs to go out to them as well.”
