We want to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Something Wicked Film Festival 2020 Online Festival Event! It was a weekend of amazing short and feature films in addition to the live Panel Discussions, Filmmaker Interviews and Live Chat through Discord! We had a lot of fun and my team and I hope you did too.
If you are not already aware, SWFF
gives out awards in two categories – our Main Award category and our secondary
category Festival Director Awards. The
difference between the two is that our Main Awards winners are chosen by our
Festival Judge Philip Wray and his Jury Members (whom are made up of film
critics and film professionals). Our
Festival Director Awards are chosen between my staff and myself and are usually
the more outlandish categories (i.e. Scream Queen of the Year, Bad Ass of the
Year, Goriest Film, etc.) and are revealed on Friday whereas the Main Awards
are announced on Sunday.
Below are our Winners for both
award Categories! We congratulate all
filmmakers and look forward to what they have in store for us in the future:
