Grant Recipient Winners

Cancuncito, is a feature film project by Carlos Marulanda, and Isael Gutierrez. Using gambling as an escape from her social isolation, Valeria, a disabled woman with limited use of her hands, recruits a poor Afro-Mexican industrial worker to help her play the casinos and attempts to seduce him. When her ultra religious mother threatens to destroy their burgeoning love affair, Valeria must move beyond the limits of her disabilities.

Shuffle, is a feature documentary project from Benjamin Flaherty and Carra Greenberg. Shuffle is a character-driven documentary exposing nationwide fraud in the addiction treatment industry where struggling young people are bought and sold for their insurance policies and ushered into a system designed to keep them sick and the profits flowing.

Mentorship Prize with Mark Duplass Winner

Under the Lights, is a feature project by Miles Levin. Desperate to feel like a regular kid, a boy with epilepsy goes to prom knowing that the lights will make him have a seizure.
