The dust has settled and Hi Mom! #7 has left the building.
Thanks to everyone who came out to support independent filmmaking! Thanks also to all the filmmakers who submitted films and the hard-working Hi Mom! volunteers who keep this festival running. We'd especially like to thank filmmakers Jim Haverkamp, Brett Ingram, Kate Fix and Jason Summers for appearing at our opening-night double feature of "Monster Road" and "Unknown Passage: The Dead Moon Story". It was truly an inspiring way to kick things off!
Picking award winners is a difficult prospect when there are so many great short films to choose from, but our judges were up to the task. We'd like to congratulate the following filmmakers for their standout films. We likey the fruits of your labor! We look forward to another fun-filled weekend next year at Hi Mom! #8. See you then...
