The teams who created the top 60 movies, as selected by our distinguished panel of judges, CMF Staff, and text voting results, converged in Atlanta on Saturday, March 27, for daylong screenings, awards, and musical performances. Over 1,000 people joined us to celebrate the first tour of 2010 for Campus MovieFest -- the best yet, with HD cameras, AT&T Samsung handsets, trips to film festivals, and more opportunities than ever for students to share their stories on the big screen.
Stylistic Interruption from GSU, The Gerstein Report from Emory University, and Love Awkwardly from UCF were crowned Best Picture, Drama, and Comedy respectively at this year's Southern Regional Grand Finale. The filmmakers won Apple Laptops, Final Cut Pro, iPods, and exposure opportunities on Virgin America and at the Cannes Film Festival. Congratulations to the winning teams!
Director Peter Farrelly, Producer Bradley Thomas, and Actor Jason Sudeikis attended Campus MovieFest's 2010 Southern Regional Grand Finale as special guest presenters and received Golden Tripod Awards for their contributions to the industry. Thomas collaborated with Farrelly on Dumb & Dumber and There's Something About Mary, among many other hit films. They're currently shooting Hall Pass in Atlanta, which stars Sudeikis of Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. They were joined by Gale Harold of Falling for Grace and Queer as Folk, recipient of a Golden Tripod Award in 2009, and Carl Azuz of CNN's Student News.
