*Screenplay award categories are somewhat
affected by the submissions. One year, we got several satires.
Another, none. So we reserve the right to honor the work
that is actually being done rather than eliminate those
good scripts which may or may not fit our preconceived ideas
of comedy genres.
Not all awards will necessarily
be given. The festvial reserves the right to withhold
or alter the award categories.
2008 FILM AWARDS
Best Feature
Creating Karma by
Jill Wisoff
This manic Bollywood-style
romp from the 60's era of free love to contemporary
pseudo-spiritual everyday philosophy is big-screen farce
full of fun.
Best Short
Las Perdidas by Laura
Somers and Lauren Costa
A road trip to hell story
where hell is not other people, it is the gals themselves.
Best No-Budget Short
You're Too by Meg
Weidner
This film finds the humor
in just how much advice people feel they can give a gal
about herself and how easy it is for a woman to take it
to heart sometimes. And then sometimes not.
Best Documentary
Pursepectives
by Wendy Cohen
A fun and funny look at purses
and the women who love them.
Audience Award
The Pussycats by
Jill Broadfoot
Four women, who in their twenties
took a road trip to Vegas to see Tom Jones, head for the
Corn Palace in South Dakota twenty years later to toss their
panties at him one more time.

received Honorable Mentions
Oh, Sammy! by Susan
