At the 2012 Phoenix Film Festival awards ceremony last night, Professor Paul DeNigris' Master's Thesis Film
"Parallax"
was awarded the Copper Wing for "Best Arizona Short." The film was produced with the participation of an all-star team of UAT Digital Video students and alumni who volunteered countless hours to make the compelling and realistic Iraq War drama. A huge contingent of UAT students, alumni, faculty, and staff also contributed to the film's budget on Kickstarter, so "Parallax" truly was a community endeavor.
UAT Digital Video won this prestigious award last year for the sci-fi action thriller "Fallout." This year's
Arizona Shorts competition was tough, with lots of great entries in what many
festivalgoers have described as the best batch of Arizona Shorts to ever
play the festival. So "Team Parallax" is especially gratified to have
won when pitted against such a great group of films! Congrats to everyone involved!
