MVP is proud to announce that one of our own – Tara Nicole Azarian was awarded the distinction of “Best Director” for her short film Sybling Rivalry at the recent Electric City Fright Film Festival on October 15th. The Electric City Fright Film Festival is a competition to spotlight aspiring and professional horror filmmakers.
(Get the full lowdown after the leap!)
Sybling Rivalry was one of many fantastic shorts shown at the festival which also included Desdemona 6 from our good friends Johnny Priest and Mac Allen at Last Call Pictures. Sybling Rivalry was written by, directed by and starred Tara Nicole and tells the story of a family’s love/hate relatonship with itself. The movie was photographed and edited by Robert W. Filion of Image Impact Group and co-starred Carrie Marshall and David Topp.
On receiving her award, Tara Nicole commented that “I actually won best director. I about fell on the floor.”
MVP would like to send out a big round of congratulations to Tara-Nicole and her mother Jenny Lynn. They have been working hard to support and promote the local filmmaking scene for quite a while and any accolades they garner are well deserved.
