Announcing AudFest’s 2019 Music & Dance Short Film Festival Winners

October 4, 2019

AudPop is super excited to announce the top five winners of the AudFest 2019 Music & Dance Short Film Festival. There were numerous submissions and so many great films, but we got it narrowed down to the top five.

1st Place Winner - Vulnerable Rally Rise Mikey Pauker - Gabriel Diamond

1st Place Winner – Vulnerable Rally Rise Mikey Pauker

Gabriel Diamond, filmmaker

 Vulnerable Rally Rise short film challenges people to display their fears on cardboard for any passersby to see. An interactive connectedness occurs when the passersby engage with the ones holding the signs. They soon find their feelings and experiences interlace and reflect one another.

“Seeing the way folks walking by would either ignore us or be incredibly moved or join us and make signs was fascinating. As you can tell, from watching the film, there were some powerful connections between strangers. That’s the power of vulnerability: it’s contagious.

Mikey Pauker did such a beautiful job performing in this piece. He let his heart be seen in a tender way that’s rarely seen in music videos.

If anyone would like to find out more about our project, they can visit vulnerablerally.com. Thank you for supporting this work.”
