It was quite a night!
28 different teams…19 awards in total…TeamArgenta and our creation, Barolo di Argenta, had 5 nominations…
I’ve never been so nervous sitting in a movie theater (besides on a first-date night, but I digress). I could’ve powered a small town with all the energy I had inside (most of which was extremely nervous energy). So…what would be the end result of all of our hard work?
WE GOT 2 AWARDS!! Pretty awesome for our first year in the 48-Hour Film Project, if I do say so myself! (please excuse all the exclamation points, but as you might imagine, I’m quite excited about all of this.) Here’s a breakdown of the awards that TeamArgenta received tonight:
Award for Best Musical Score (many, many thanks go out to Jason Burnett & the guys at Infrared Studios)
Award for Best Actress (Jenifer Hamel, playing the character Victoria Shae)
In the interest of fairness and truthiness (thank you so much for that word Stephen Colbert), there was actually a 2-way tie for Best Actress. The other actress who shared the award with our much-loved Jenifer Hamel was Paige Reynolds, from the film Fortunate, by Team Arkansas Times.
It was a fantastic night, I reconnected with lots of folks I haven’t seen in a while, I got to share the joy of winning two awards with many of my team members…it’s really just unexplainable how I feel right now.
In the next few days/weeks, I’ll be putting our film up on the intertubz for all to enjoy. I will have it posted directly on this blog, so keep checking in to see if it’s up yet. If it’s not, look around my site (I know, not much to look at yet) and please feel free to leave comments about how the site is coming so far and make suggestions for things you’d like to see here in the future. I’ve got really high hopes for this site, but I’m not going to be able to make it happen without a community who shares their thoughts with me. <<Ok, enough shilling for my website

So, in wrapping this up….CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY WHO WAS A PART OF TeamArgenta!!!
