Jack of All Trades
“I loved that through The Audience Awards, my film reached people all over the world. From my friends on the East Coast to my family members in Algeria, everyone could see it. To be able to share your work all over the globe at once was incredible. Having my film, Jack of All Trades win the 2015 Most Voted film at the Audience Awards was truly validating. When your friends like your film it’s great, but when total strangers leave you encouraging messages about the different aspects of the film they enjoyed, it’s pretty exciting. When your screening your short film at other festivals, there’s no telling how many people will show up. With The Audience Awards, you’re not tied to a Thursday 2pm viewing slot. Your work is available 24 hours a day. So people get a chance to enjoy your work when it’s best for them” Gregory Evans NFMLA July 2015, 1st Place.
