I can’t believe Simple Things didn’t register anywhere.

I never expected it to be in the winner category as far as the judging was concerned. Well, since I was one of the judges, I knew it wasn’t in there, but I was quite surprised that it didn’t snag the audience award. That said, the competition was steep this year and YEAR OF THE FISH is a pretty remarkable work.

here comes the Judge ...
the competition was fierce, as it should be. the quality of films this year was the best so far, in my opinion --great job!
in regards to Simple Things: it was a pleasure being able to screen an enjoyable, well-written, genuine film. unfortunately, most Americans will never see it [for all the obvious, overstated reasons].
