Viscera Film Festival Announces Winners

So, we're giant fans of the Viscera Film Festival.  And now we know who won!  Here's your official press release:

The event has come and gone but the memories will remain.  Sunday 17, July marked the date of the 2011 Viscera Women’s Film Festival.  The celebration of female made horror films was hosted by Founder/Director of Operations Shannon Lark and Director of Programming Heidi Honeycutt in the beautiful Silent Movie Theatre in Los Angeles.  Horror fans from around the globe showed support with product and service donations as well as their attendance.  With the legendary theater packed to bursting and festivities overflowing on the lush green patio, the entire Viscera team is overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who helped make it all happen. Most importantly, though, are the filmmakers and their triumphs.  The films screened received recognition for being stellar examples of their craft.

After the screening, the filmmakers who were present gathered on stage to take questions from the audience.  Following that, awards were presented.  Each filmmaker received a Viscera award for acceptance into the festival and, in addition, three awards were given for outstanding achievement in three categories.

Best Film - Faye Jackson for LUMP

Best Director - Mae Catt for 12/15/1996

Best Cinematography - Tyrrell Shaffner for Threnody
