AWESOME!!!

Below is an email from Michael (The American exchange student i collaborated with last semester to shoot Departure), he forwarded this mail from one of the contacts in uni that is in contact with the QNFA (Queensland New Filmmakers Awards). This is the one and only film competition we entered our film in before Michael left, and we've been nominated for 5 awards as stated in the email.

I'm ecstatic!!!

We sponsor the Queensland New Filmmakers Awards and have been informed that your film project The Departed has been nominated for several awards, including the Best Tertiary "Other" prize. You personally have been nominated for the Most Outstanding Cinematography award. I understand you were a Study Abroad student here in Semester One and that you have since returned home to Massechusetts. I am not sure, however, whether any of your collaborators are in Brisbane and would like to attend the Award ceremony? The event is on Saturday 11th August, 7.00pm at the Tivoli Theatre. In total, The Departed has been nominated for five awards at the QNFAs: - Best Production Design (Douglas Quill) - Most Outstanding Cinematography (Michael Quill) - Best Original Screen Music (Devon Glass) - Excellence in Editing (Bryan De Blasio) - Best Tertiary Other …CONGRATULATIONS to you all! It would be fabulous if someone was able to represent you and your collaborators at the event, please let me know if that is possible. Alternatively, we can probably arrange for someone from QUT to accept your award on your behalf? I look forward to hearing from you.
