September 8, 2024
The 2024 Showrunner Awards were announced today. We were up against some stiff competition (we're talking some films that cost tens of thousands of dollars), but still managed to pull off three wins at the "Commander" level:
-
Best Supporting Actor: Doug Baldwin
-
Best Writing
-
Best Editing
You can watch all the films that were in the competition (all 27 hours of them) here. (Thanks to my "genius" in using a number for the title, we're at the top of the list!)
HarrisFilm Reviews 359
September 7, 2024
Probably the last of the festivals in which 359 has been entered is the upcoming Showrunner Awards, the winners of which will be announced on September 8, 2024. This is a review of 359 by another team of filmmakers who have entered their films in the awards. Their live stream is a little chuggy, but if you want to skip to the final review, you can find it here. Spoiler alert: they gave it eight thumbs up (two per reviewer). Thanks, guys!
