congratulations to all these teams too. there was an incredibly high standard this year and some very good films have been made that have not made these selections. thanks to every single person who got behind everything needed for every single frame of the films made this year. without your bravery and efforts and imaginations and action these pages and more screens would be black
straight 8 is open to anyone anywhere. we don't even mention diversity. never have. never needed to. oops - just did
