Getting Lucky wins the Bronze Pecan Award!



The Seguin Film Festival was amazing! Shane and I saw 98% of the films and there were some really wonderful films that were a part of this festival. Shane and I did get a break to view some of the art at the arts festival. The people in Seguin were so friendly and gracious--we were treated like celebrities! Many thanks to Denise Crettenden, Seguin Film Festival, and the city of Seguin for their warm hospitality.

Towards the end of the day they announced the winners of the festival. I was thrilled that my dear friend Julia Radochia took the Directors Award for Eddie's Winning Date. Yay, Jules! Congrats!

As they announced Getting Lucky for the Bronze Pecan Award, I was shocked and extremely grateful. I'm always happy to have Getting Lucky be a part of a festival, let alone win an award. Here I am with fellow filmmakers and winners Joey Carrillo; winner of the Robert A. Burns Award (Best Horror) for his film, Cliptomaniac. Denise Crettenden, The Seguin Film Festival Director, me, and Erik Bosse, won The Director's Award for his Comedy, Operation Hitman.
