Congratulations to WIFT member Anna Geddes who along with her fellow filmmakers, Matt Heath, Cass Donaldson and Joe Lonie picked up the 2013 Rush Munro's Best Film award from Show Me Shorts Film Festival for Honk If You're Horny. This film is now eligible to enter the 2015 Academy Awards�. The film was cast by none other than our own WIFT manager Patricia Watson - so well done Patirica for spotting the talent.
In making the award, judges Kirstin Marcon, Frances Morton and Matt Noonan said, "Honk If You're Horny surprised us with a wild, sexy ride. Every element and every creative department shines. It's good to see New Zealand's broader urban culture in the spotlight, and to give voice to such an instantly identifiable character without resorting to clich�. We hope to see more from this creative team."
Honk If You're Horny also took out the SDGNZ Best Director Award for Joe Lonie, and the StarNow Best Actor Award for Andy Anderson's "gripping, humorous" performance as a lascivious taxi driver telling a filthy story.
