YoungCuts Film Festival
Wrap-up: PM holds its own!
( added Nov. 2)
 
    The YoungCuts International Film Festival wrapped up this weekend with a nice turnout for the second and final screening of Pure Malice on the morning of October 30, at Fairview Mall's Rainbow Cinemas. Director Ann Pirvu was in attendance, carrying a bright smile on her face left over from the night before: the festivals' Awards Ceremonies.
 
   The proceedings lasted almost two hours, and Awards Categories included Best Screen Test, Animated Film, Documentary, Music Video, Foreign Film ( an American film- the Businessman- was the winner --lol!), Director, Actor, Actress, Trailer, Special Effects, Sound, Cinematography, and Editing. The top films in each age group category ( 16 and under/ 19 and under/ 24 and under) were also honored.
 
    The festivals' 100 films were all potentially eligible, regardless of what category they fell under ( drama , comedy, horror--etc) or how long they were ( either  2 min or 93 min like Pure Malice), so under these circumstances, Ms. Pirvu was delighted to hear the film's name honored with 2 different nominations.
 
    Pure Malice was nominated for 2 awards, Best Actress ( Ann Pirvu) and Best Trailer ( as determined by the Toronto audience that watched various trailers from the festival featured on RAZER TV). Congrats PM TEAM!!!
