Everything
Cody
Yourbrough is one of the huge reasons Spidertron is so good. As
editor and assistant director Cody turned a mess of amateurs fumbling
through scenes, into an honest to god feature film! It’s no surprise
to anyone who’s worked with him that he’s finally getting the respect
of the “real” film industry. We are happy to congratulate
him on his Cinequest Film Festival award! Below is
his announcement I’m happy to report that my screenplay
“Freefall” has just won the Bronze prize at the 2009 Cinequest Film
Festival. I was chosen as one of 10 finalists out of a field of
almost 700 script submissions. After four rounds of elimination, the script
(formerly “The Juno Incident”) was selected for the third prize. I win
two face to face script consultations with UCLA screen writing
gurus Hal Ackerman and Richard Walter, worth a whopping $647,000
(according to Ackerman, anyway). And a signed copy of each of their books. In addition, all the parties, films and
events at Cinequest gave me the opportunity to meet and greet with
literally hundreds of energetic and exciting filmmakers at every level
from student directors to Oscar winners. I saw dozens of fantastic
features and shorts made by these people and had the pleasure to ask and
answer questions with most of them. The hosts were amazing, and the
film fest was a fantastic community event, drawing better than
80,000 film fans from San Jose and the bay area over the course of the
festival. I am of course entirely overjoyed, and
happy to hit the ground running to meet, greet, and market. The first
solicitations are already coming in, and things are all getting very
exciting. The finalists were feted at a personal reception with Diablo
Cody (Juno), Hal Ackerman, Richard Walter, Felicia Henderson (Fringe,
Gossip Girl & Everybody Hates Chris), James Dalessandro (1906), Scott
Kosar (The Machinist), and others, including 12 estimable final
round judges and festival organizers. Everyone was amazingly supportive and
encouraging, and my gratitude for the honor could scarcely be
greater. (Details:
