HeartStrings Takes Two Awards!
By God's grace, HeartStrings [LINK] won the Audience Choice and Young Filmmakers' Awards. This is the first time in SAICFF history that a young filmmaker takes Audience Choice. Praise be to God. Yes yes, I know, I know. Why aren't I in the picture? Well, we aren't "officially" the filmmakers of HeartStrings . But we helped with HeartStrings . When you watch the Behind the Scenes of HeartStrings on the DVD, you'll understand. Ok, yes, I admit that John Moore wrote the script and was the official director... On a serious note, John Moore was an excellent director and manager of things. I truly admire his skills. Do be sure to pick up a DVD complete with the Behind the Scenes (I'm in there ) and other special features. You can do so at www.HeartStringsTheMovie.com
