Today, The Winners Were Announced…

The L.A. Film Festival Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature went to Cyrus Nowrasteh’s ‘The Stoning of Soraya M.’ This film was just released, his weekend.

It was a beautiful film, and brutal. I’ll write more about it, specifically, in a bit. I set up interviews with some of the actors, and the director, so stay posted for that…

Hat tip to my friend, Jeffrey Wells, who has an industry blog called Hollywood-Elsewhere, (link) for the info about the LA Film Fest winners…

And a big bow, too…he allowed me to accompany him for much of the festival, he’s a film brain…
