Meet the Finalist: Keith Large, "Guilty Bunch Of Flowers"
Tell us about yourself, and about Guilty Bunch Of Flowers. After winning a play writing competition I began to write more short plays and subsequently began producing some of them. This led me to meeting actors who I love working with, so I am delighted we have been nominated as a finalist for Best Ensemble for our short film ‘Guilty Bunch of Flowers’. The cast were fantastic to work with and we had such a happy set. Share a memorable moment you experienced working on this

Meet the Finalist: Maximillian Remmler, "Sleep is for the Week"
Tell us about yourself, and about Sleep is for the Week. I've been making short films since my high school days, although I made my first “movie” at the age of 9. As many do in high school, I had a lot of insecurity built up which led to embarrassing clumsy behavior. I treated Sleep is for the Week as an escape from that behavior. It was a way for me and so many others to look back on their former selves and think, “Wow I'm not this person anymore, but remember when I was?”

Meet the Finalist: Benjamin Folstein, "Zog: The First Feminist"
Tell us about yourself, and about Zog: The First Feminist. HI! I'm Benjamin Folstein, a New York City resident, currently making a living as an art swing on film sets.

Meet the Finalist: Samuel Garza Bernstein, "The Secret World of Danny Lopez"
Tell us about yourself, and about The Secret World of Danny Lopez. Much of my life and writing reflect the wild intersections of modern life. My undocumented Mexican mom passed as white, and my Jewish, Texan dad sold arms to the Palestinians when we lived in Egypt. I was a gay Jewish kid surrounded by hot Muslims. I'm also a 2018 WGA writers access project honoree for "The Secret World of Danny Lopez.” I won Best Screenplay at UK/NY fests for "Elephant & Castle" and a G.L.A

Meet the Finalist: Michael Boston, "Jesus Rides A Harley"
Tell us about yourself, and about Jesus Rides A Harley. Me, being the lone finalist from our film, I can tell you, that I DO share this nomination with all that helped us complete this film. It was a very give-and-take production. I'm a hands-in-the-dirt blue collar worker from the Midwest that grew up watching cinema mostly on my own, and was inspired late in my 20s to move into this arena. I often got goosebumps watching great actors and I still do today. Share a memorabl
