Another filmmaker I'm personally following (see previous story) is actually a group, they are the makers of Eve of Understanding (Filmstalker review) who really surprised me with just how good their film is on all fronts.

They've just had some great news updates which they've emailed through and also announced on their site. Here's a quick rundown:

Eve of Understanding is the jury WINNER, BEST US FEATURE FILM at the Beverly Hills Hi-Def Film Fest.

...and rightly deserved. I haven't seen the others in competition but I do know that they have a stronkingly good film and you would never believe the restrictions they had in making it.

They are already running with the following awards:

WINNER BEST FEATURE FILM, Female Eye Film Festival in Toronto
WINNER BEST FEATURE FILM, Beverly Hills Hi-Def Film Festival
WINNER BEST ACTRESS Rebecca Lowman, Boston Film Festival
WINNER BEST ACTRESS Rebecca Lowman, Breckenridge Film Festival

They've also emailed me to let me know more good news:

Competition, Enters Next Round Of Judging
Peter Senchuk's Score And Eve Up For Award In Park , Utah (Here some score excerpts on his site)
