Winners
Thank you to all of you who submitted film entries to the ORION FutureFlick Contest. Our judges were impressed by the submissions, and had a difficult time narrowing down their top three picks. Congratulations to the winners!
Judges used the following criteria when evaluating the the films: originality/creativity of topic/theme, effectiveness in communicating the vision, contribution of creative elements (i.e. script, visuals, music, performances etc.), and to a lesser extent, technical quality (of editing, lighting, cinematography etc.).
